Awasum,
I thank you for raising your email but to echo what Abhay has said, this
has been a project of utmost priority and he, along with Jivjyot, have been
dedicating immense efforts to developing code, mentoring other
contributors, and reviewing PRs
We have had a number of other contributors, individual front-end developers
from partner organizations, who have expressed an interest in fixing
outstanding tasks related to this work and Abhay has been working to find
easy ways to onboard them. I support Abhay's high level of quality that
he's trying to ensure across all pull requests but would like us to explore
as Awasum mentioned how we could get more of these potential contributors
onboarded in a swift manner. I also welcome others in the community to help
with some of the efforts Abhay has been trying to get in place around
coding and design standards for the UI to maintain that high bar of
quality.
Abhay has also been working to provide a greater deal of transparency and
clarity around the outstanding issues to be worked but on he is only one
person so once again having more active participation from other UI
developers in the community is welcome.
Regarding the release, we can't issue a formal release until the entire
application is re-written and tested but Pranjal had previously explored
ways of how we could run both UIs in parallel having the old UI swap in for
sections where the new UI wasn't yet completed. @Pranjal Goswami
<pranjal.b.goswami@gmail.com> can you comment to the feasibility of that
approach?
To summarize, we're doing all we can to get the new web app released. We
need more contributors and know what several partners have expressed a
willingness to help. We could use help in planning out the available tasks
and reviewing incoming PRs. We could use help in publishing a consistent
set of design guidelines and front-end development standards to ensure a
high bar of quality.
Best,
Ed
