Discussion: Consolidating GSoC 2026 minor website cleanups and seeking guidance #1907
Description
Hello @eduardo-rodrigues and maintainers,
Thank you for the quick feedback. I sincerely apologize for the noise caused by submitting multiple individual automated issues and PRs at once. That was a serious mistake on my part in my eagerness to prepare the organization page for GSoC 2026, and I have gone ahead and closed all 8 PRs and 5 issues as requested.
My primary goal is to participate meaningfully in GSoC 2026 under CERN-HSF.
As requested, I would like to use this single issue to consolidate what I found while reviewing the repository. If any of these are genuinely useful, please let me know if you'd prefer I open a single, unified PR for all of them at once, or if you prefer I leave the website alone and focus my efforts purely on the core physics/software project codebases:
Summary of Cleanup Findings
- GSoC 2026 Project Metadata: Several project files in _gsocprojects/2026/ (like Spack, Clad, FCC) are missing the
epository: and license: front-matter keys, directly correlating with open issue GSoC: Add repo links and licence information to projects #1862. - GSoC Terminology: In _gsocproposals/2026/, the term "student" is used instead of Google's current "participant" standard.
- Missing Project Reference: The proposal_BioDynaMo_agent_based.md flags its project as BioDynaMo, but _gsocprojects/2026/project_BioDynaMo.md does not actually exist yet, which may cause a broken link.
- Unquoted HTML Attribute Bug: In _layouts/blog_post.html, the author image tag �lt={{ page.author }} lacks quotes, leading to broken property mapping when the author's name contains a space.
Once again, I apologize for creating a review burden. I am eager to learn from this and contribute effectively in whatever manner you need most!
