Week 7
Week 7 Reflection This week our group met on Discord to decide which open-source project we want to work on for the rest of the semester. After looking at several options, we decided to choose Nanobot. We picked Nanobot because it is an AI-related project and the repository looks active. The documentation is also clear enough for us to start exploring the code. We believe this project will help us understand how real open-source projects are structured and maintained.
However, we also noticed some challenges. The codebase is fairly large, so it may take time for everyone to understand how the system works. Some group members are also not familiar with all the tools used in the project yet. Because of this, setting up the development environment might take some effort at the beginning.
For the next step, everyone in the group will try to clone the Nanobot repository and run the project locally. If we encounter problems during the setup process, we will share them with the group so we can solve them together. After that, we will start reading the code and looking for beginner-friendly issues in the repository. Our goal is to understand the project better and prepare for our first contribution.
