If you have a proposal up and it's not appearing here, please reach out and we can get it tagged properly so it does. Thank you!
Final proposals are due Nov 5, so we prefer to see them early so we can help you refine them!
And we are most of all looking for a plan around how you'll do the work described; we are open to new ideas but definitely want to hear that you've thought through how the ones we already have described will get completed and when. You can list your unknowns, your questions, your process, in the proposal, and we love to see that!

Hi Contributors!! I want to add some information regarding the project of the Public lab "Spectral Workbench". Spectral Workbench is a separate Rails app at https://github.com/publiclab/spectral-workbench/, but it's linked in to share the same login system as PublicLab.org, since it's a specialty tool for users in our community and we didn't want separate logins. And, it has its own pure JavaScript library containing much of the complex part of the UI and front-end, at https://github.com/publiclab/spectral-workbench.js/, which is an NPM module too, and that is "installed" into the Rails app, so as to keep the JavaScript and Ruby code distinct. I hope it helps you when you start contributing to this project. Thanks! Happy Coding!
thank you for sharing this helpful information!

Hi all, i had a good question on DM in Gitter chat I wanted to share:
Hi, actually it's the other way around - first changes are made to
PublicLab.Editor(https://github.com/publiclab/PublicLab.Editor/), then it's published on the NPM registry at https://www.npmjs.com/package/publiclab-editor then it will be pulled in via the semantic versioning matching rules (https://docs.npmjs.com/about-semantic-versioning/) intoplots2then published to the live site there are a number of steps along the way but that's the flow. good question!and, the HTML is on publiclab.Editor's examples folder, but then those HTML changes (if any) have to be copied into the real code in plots2. But HTML changes are relatively rare because they are usually by definition breaking changes if they require a "downstream" library to change in order to remain compatible with the new version of the Editor library.
Is this a question? Click here to post it to the Questions page.
In followup to this -- For example, to change the styling of a button, it depends on if the appearance in plots2 is relying on CSS that's in the Editor library, or if it's customized in plots2.
You can use the Chrome dev tools to see where the CSS rules are coming from. While running in development mode in plots2, if they're from
/public/lib/publiclab-editor/dist/___.cssor something like that, they're from the Editor library. But if they're from/app/assets/stylesheets/editor.css(or something like that) they're part of the Rails app's custom styling. Complex, but I hope that makes sense!Reply to this comment...

And just a note - its' OK if the version posted to Outreachy doesn't exactly match what you post to our website. We'll be mostly reading the one on our website -- and it's fine if the one on our website continues to evolve a bit. For example, if you respond with new info in the comments under your post, it's not completely necessary to add that to the version you post to Outreachy, esp. if it's just clarifying something. Just be sure to make the Outreachy deadline, that's more formal! Thanks!
