Hi everyone,
I’m Aqeel, a Full-Stack Developer. My academic background is in Mechanical Engineering, but I transitioned into software development and spend my day-to-day working with React, Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript.
I am really interested in the “Plugin Modernizer Stats Visualization” project for GSoC 2026. I’ve spent a lot of time building data-heavy dashboards and scalable APIs (including custom real-time uptime monitors), so taking the Jenkins modernization datasets and turning them into an insightful UI aligns perfectly with my stack.
I am currently digging into the jenkins-infra/metadata-plugin-modernizer repository to understand the data structures and how the aggregated metadata is updated for each plugin.
Quick question for the mentors: I see that one of the broader goals is better integration with the Plugin Health Score to automatically run recipes on plugins with low scores. For the visualization dashboard, should we aim to correlate the modernization metadata directly with these health scores to highlight which plugins are the absolute highest priority for the community to fix?
Looking forward to contributing and learning from the community!
