This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.

Learn how to hack the P2PU code.

This is an introduction to contributing to the open source platform that P2PU runs on: Lernanta. Lernanta is based on (also referred to as a fork of) Mozilla's Batucada project and is a Python/Django web application whose code is on GitHub.

We'll walk through the whole process together from getting the code, running it locally, finding a bug to fix, fixing the bug, and contributing the fix to the Lernanta project. Please see full description for more information.

Hi Ali

One area we would like to improve for the site is the responsiveness. We want to limit the number of complete page reloads that is necessary, so your JavaScript skills can come in very handy!!

You can start by following this challenge to help you set up your development environment and then pick a small improvement to implement. Something like making the activity stream on the landing page update regularly using AJAX?

Cheers
