The basic idea is an extended version of GSOC Task List.

In this project, tasks means open issues and unmerged pull request coming from GSOC open source projects.

GSOC prep task is an issue finding tools that is (currently) integrated only with GitHub. It helps filter out the GitHub issues and only show the issues that are newcomer friendly and coming from limited GSoC organization. It limits the organization because different organization use different kind of issue tracking such as Phabricator and GitLab.

Git Task List is conceptually the same as GSOC prep task. Git Task List target a broader task type which include pull request review as the task. The goal of this project is to help developer to keep contributing to open source project by providing a sets of tasks that has been filtered using predefined keywords.

In coala, this project will help sharing the tasks of reviewing a pull request on a project accross GitHub and GitLab. It will help fix the problem where developer spend too much time finding PR that haven’t been reviewed. This projects aims to getting more developer doing reviews works and sharing reviews workload, by providing an easy way to find issues that has not been reviewed both on http://github.com/coala and http://gitlab.com/coala.

This will also help engage the developer to keep contributing to a project where they can’t find any issue that they can fix or keep the newcomer issue for new comer as learning path and developer with more experience can contribute by reviewing newcomer’s work PR.

The goal of this projects is a static-site web page where the user can find Issues and Pull Request that haven’t been reviewed. User can select projects in Open Source hosting services like GitHub or GitLab. They also have the ability to select prefered programming language, tags, owner of the pull requests, and other metadata that is provided by the web services (GitHub/GitLab).

Because the concept of this project, is the same as GSOC prep task , it can be used as the starting point of this project.

Known Issue Tracker Usage In GSOC Organization

Issue Tracker Usage
GitHub 16
Trac 7
Atlassian Jira 7
GitLab 4
phabricator 4
BugZilla 4
Usabilla 2
Redmine 2

Because of the difficulty to support all of the known issue tracker in the range of GSOC timeline. This project will provide support for GitHub, GitLab, and Phabricator.

Identifying Task Of A Specific Organization

For a hosted issue tracker (like GitHub.com & GitLab.com) it is already documented and we can confidently know what resource are posible and what is not . The process of adding support for a new organization is posible using an external data source such as Wikidata. The app can fetch for list of organization that use GitHub / GitLab via Qikidata Query API

The case is different for a self hosted Organization. The accessibility is different. For organization that use Phabricator as issue tracker, the process of adding support to it will be manually for each organization to make sure that the API is accessible.
