==Project I: Workflow/scheduler ==
==Project I: Improve the Joomla front end editing experience ==


===Project Description===
===Project Description===
With Joomla! 4.0 and 4.1 two new features were implemented into Joomla!: the workflow and the task scheduler. In this project both features should be combined. Workflow transitions which are then executed by the scheduler when they are scheduled.Therefore the user interface of the articles extension has to be extended + different task/workflow plugins need to be created.
Front end editing in Joomla is a helpful feature for content creators, but it’s not always consistently available or easy to use. This project will identify areas of improvement and implement the recommended changes to front end editing in relevant Joomla core components.
As a student, here is the list of things expected from you as deliverable for the project:
*Deliver an user interface suggestion for com_content how the user interface can look like for pre-defining transition chains.
*Implement the user interface in com_content
*Deliver a task plugin to execute the transitions via the scheduler extension

==Project II: Guided Tour==
==Project II: API Improvements ==


===Project Description===
===Project Description===
Improve the API to cover more/all general functions in Joomla!
Go through the components to add missing calls
Implement proper authentication (oAuth2, ...)
Improve error handling


In Joomla! are certain workflows needed to do certain tasks. Currently, users have to read the documentation if they’re new and want to know how they can achieve different things. This project should implement the functionality of guided tours in Joomla!. A tour is a click-through path which the user can follow to fulfill certain tasks like creating an article. So on the one hand Joomla! core should deliver basic tours for users to use core functionality without the need to read the documentation. On the other hand, it should be possible to create their own tours (e.g. as administrators for system operators), copy and change existing tours or allow 3rd party developers to ship their own tours when their extension will be installed.
The project has a history: https://docs.joomla.org/Guided_Tour
Now we want to make the project ready for the next Joomla Version.

==Project V: Increase test coverage ==
==Project V: Schema.org==


===Project Description===
===Project Description===
Currently Joomla! uses inline microdata for adding rich snippets. The drawback of this implementation is that it’s hard coded (can’t be changed from the backend, only by overrides) and it is very generic. With this project, Joomla! should switch to a schema.org JSON+LD implementation which is configurable via the backend (e.g in article, category view).
System or unit tests are an essential part of the development process to ensure stability of any application.
As a student, here is the list of things expected from you as deliverable for the project:
