Introduction – Plugin Modernizer Stats Visualization

Contributing GSoC
1

Hi everyone,

I’m Mudassar Quraishi, and I’m interested in the Plugin Modernizer Stats Visualization project for GSoC 2026.

I’m an MCA student with some experience building dashboards using React and TypeScript.

I think this project is useful because the modernization data already exists but is hard to explore. A simple dashboard could help maintainers see what needs updating and help new contributors find tasks.

I’ve looked at the metadata repo and noticed each plugin has an aggregated_migrations.json file - that seems like a good starting point for building summaries and per-plugin pages.

A few questions for mentors:

  • Would you prefer the dashboard to go on stats.jenkins.io or start with GitHub Pages?

  • Which fields in the data do you think are most important to show?

  • Is there any existing design or mockup I should build on?

Thanks!
Mudassar
