Created page with "== Introduction == As you probably know already, The Software Heritage archive can be [https://archive.softwareheritage.org browsed on the Web]. The [https://forge.softwarehe..."

New page

== Introduction ==

As you probably know already, The Software Heritage archive can be
[https://archive.softwareheritage.org browsed on the Web]. The
[https://forge.softwareheritage.org/source/swh-web/ code] powering that
interface is a Django application that also implements a
[https://archive.softwareheritage.org/api/ Web API].

== Task description ==

When browsing a repository (on GitHub, Gitlab, ...) or a package description (on NPM, Debian),
people may want to check when (and if) this repository or package was last archived in Software Heritage.
Currently, this means opening the archive in a new tab, and searching for the URL, and looking at the status.
Then, they can trigger a new archival with another few clicks (via the "Save Code Now" feature).

This workflow may be streamlined by the creation of a browser extension or bookmarklet.
This extension/bookmarklet would, for example, show an icon next to the URL bar to show the status of the currently visited repository;
and clicking it would show details (like the date of last visit) and run "Save Code Now" in just two clicks.

== Desirable skills ==

* Python 3 and Git are a must to work on any Software Heritage project
* Javascript experience is also needed for this project
* Prior experience in working with browser extensions is a plus

== Potential mentors ==

* Antoine Lambert (anlambert on [[IRC]])
* Valentin Lorentz (vlorentz on [[IRC]])
