Technical contributions

Tools & APIs developed

Wiki Contest Tool (Toolforge): WIki Contest Tool to track contest activities.

Indicwiki Stats Tool (Toolforge): This tool is prominent for those who work on Wikisource. Previously, it read data from a JSON file, but this flat file system was not durable. Therefore, I have migrated stats.json to a database, and using Flask, it initializes tables automatically in our database. This allows us to perform queries over the data.

Community-Event Management Platform (Toolforge): A Community and Event management Platform. A scalable, hierarchy-based community management platform enabling users to build communities (Chapters) and organize diverse events with deep engagement features.

Tasks: Move stats from filesystem to database. Current stats are being stored in JSON. We need to move them to MySQL with SQLAlchemy.

Links to patch: GitHub Pull Request

Techstack: Python, MySQL, SQLAlchemy, Flask
