[GSoC2016] - Jenkins Web Interface Improvements and Update Center 2.0

[Arshad Khan]

 Hello everyone,

                        My name is Arshad Khan, I am a second year student pursuing B.Tech. in Information Technology from Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Engineering, New Delhi. I am currently doing internship as an Front-end and UX developer at Broomberg Cleaning Services,New Delhi. I have been learning and doing work with web development languages like HTML, CSS ,PHP, JQuerry and JavaScript since my first year of engineering and worked as a part of user experience team of several community projects. I have great interest in designing and front-end architecture. I have worked as a graphic designer for various technical societies of my college.As a  graphic designer, I have learned a lot about typography and color schemes.I have working knowledge of Java(CS 106A), C, photoshop and illustrator too.

I am really very excited  for these two projects because I have all the skills mentioned for these projects. Most importantly, it will be undoubtedly great learning experience for me. I think UI is very important aspect of an application. It decides credibility of a  website or an application and improves user experience.It will be a great opportunity for me to work with Jenkins.

I have installed jenkins on my system and downloaded the source code and started working on it. Before diving deep into it, I saw a lot old and non-elegant icons and alignment issues.I am eagerly waiting for the hangout session to ask some questions and to know more about the ideas. I will write back and submit my proposal after a deep analysis of the application.

Hi Arshad,

Thanks for contacting us! I've added the potential mentors to Cc.
We are having an office hours session today at 8PM UTC, but it may be too late in your timezone. In any case, there will be new Office Hours sessions scheduled soon, so please stay tuned.

Once you have a proposal draft, just send it to this thread. It would be great to have a commentable Google Doc, so the community members will be able to review it.

Best regards,
Oleg Nenashev

Hi Arshad,

Nice document!
There are improvement areas, which could really help the project and improve the user experience.
We can review the notes in parallel, because many of them deserve improvement issues in the Jenkins bugtracker.

On the GSoC project side, I would recommend to narrow down the scope a bit. E.g. you could concentrate on several pages and perform deep improvements there. It makes the project more consistent and presentable, which is important for GSoC.

BR, Oleg

Great proposal Arshad. I'd echo Oleg's feedback in narrowing down the scope a bit. One thing that might hamper the delivery of this proposal is plugin compatibility - Gus Reiber and Tom Fennelly have done a lot of thinking about this and would be a good people to get advice from.

[Arshad Khan]

Thank you very much. These were just issues that I pointed out in the jenkins 2.0 from my intuition. I will be uploading my proposal today that will try to touch every potential point.

[Arshad Khan]

Hello mentors,

I have made a proposal, please give your valuable feedback and suggentions.

Regards,
Arshad

Hi Arshad, I'll have a look very soon. But shouldn't you enable commenting to ease interactions/feedback?

Hi,
OK. But please note that this community has very high standards of openness and transparency.
In our context, mentors are more gonna be your potential dedicated ears and probably main feedback providers, but most communications will be expected to happen in public here. And mentors to be seen more as entrypoints then the ones who decide if everything about the project.
So IMO, the best would be to get used to it ASAP :) and open that proposal for comments to anyone, not just mentors.
Cheers

Nice proposal! From what I see it's detailed well, so IMHO you can go forward with the proposal draft on Google's website.
There are some implementation details to discuss, but it can be done later.

BR, Oleg

Nice one, indeed. Congrats!

Just finished reviewing. Comments inline.

IMO, there would be potentially still many questions left around where we want to go with UC2.0, but I also guess this will be things that can be discussed/reviewed here as usual.
