I think it would be best to remove the proposal. Here is a link to a similar case. Have a great day 🙂 yongjun > [@\[GCoC 2025 PROPOSAL\] Backend code refactoring for Infra Statistics](https://community.jenkins.io/t/gcoc-2025-proposal-backend-code-refactoring-for-infra-statistics/29027): > > Greeting Jenkins Community I’m Joseph James, a final year BSc Computer Science student at Lancaster University in the UK.

Thanks, @poddingue @Alyssat Sir, please suggest any updates to the document if I have made any mistakes or misunderstood anything Short Introduction: - I am a software engineer who has worked on multiple systems from a young age while pursuing my graduation. I am currently preparing for admission to msc computer science. My primary responsibilities include designing system workflows, developing APIs, and documenting them using Swagger UI and Redoc. Before transitioning into tech, I was a computer teacher, instructing students in multiple programming languages, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Java, .NET, and Angular. **Proposal Link** : [[Swagger / OpenAPI standardization for Jenkins REST API]](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_AAPfmLy8BT1ihcZTMKhmqwZf_PRr9MudNa-HBl7JfI/edit?tab=t.0) ---

Thank you, Jenkins Community! 🙌 Special thanks to @poddingue @alyssat @berviantoleo for your valuable suggestions. Based on your feedback, I’ve updated the approach and provided a more structured solution on how **existing plugins** can integrate with this mechanism, how we can **convert the metadata into the API Spec** and **mechanism for new jenkins plugins developers to register APIs in the central documentation system** ---

Thank you, @krisstern I love to see feedbacks from Jenkins Community! And I truly appreciate - it means a lot. 🙂 I’ve made some improvements to the proposal document to make it clearer and more understandable based on your suggestions. I understand that some of the points I mentioned might not be the perfect solutions, but I’ve done my best to provide thoughtful and practical ideas based on my current level of understanding and experience. Thank you once again, Jenkins Community, for the support and encouragement!
