[kshitij10496]

This issue is intended to keep a track of all the work to be done for a 1.0 release of the Bot:

• Replacing Stack Overflow scrapping with the use of API.
• Integrating with GitHub API for learning resources and trending projects. : assignee @kshitij10496
• Making code great again : PEP8 compliance and directory structure.
• Documentation

Comment below about new ideas which might be suitable for the bot.
Let us know if you are interested in taking a task on this list.

Ideas

1. Use GitHub API to do various tasks like search for your friend on GitHub(maybe get summary of total commits, latest commits), return results of repositories related to a certain topic etc.
2. Refer to links when asked about orgainizations in GSoC.
3. Link to finished/unfinished projects made by KOSS(For future use).

That's what I am doing in gh-scrapper. We can make an activity leaderboard of KGPians and display it on our website.

That would be pretty cool.

Refer to links when asked about organisations in GSoC.

We can use regex to search if a language name and string gsoc or google summer of code is present in a message and then send list of all the organisations for that language. Same thing can be done for sub-orgs

This technique is what I want to use to provide learning resources. But I am unsure whether we can filter orgs based on the language through a script.
How do you intend to do that ? Is there an API for the site ?

Have look at https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/
If you click any organisation you can see some tags. We can scrape the tags along with few details about org and link to it and check for the tags in regex

There are just too many orgs to scrape. Moreover, I don't think this is of much use given an org may not apply the following year. Also, a student can easily search this by himself. So I'm -1 on this.

Rather than giving the user a list of orgs, we can redirect him to some useful links for open source contribution such as : http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
