Introduction - Wen Qi - Plugin Modernizer Stats Visualization

Contributing GSoC
1

Hi everyone,

I’m Wen Qi, a software engineering student, and I’m interested in the Plugin Modernizer Stats Visualization project for GSoC 2026.

My background is mostly in React/TypeScript and data-heavy frontend work, so this project felt like a natural fit for me. I like building things that make complex data easier to explore and actually useful to people.

Right now I’m reading through stats.jenkins.io and metadata-plugin-modernizer, and I’m putting together a small prototype to get a better feel for the data flow and UI direction. So far I’m working on build-time data ingestion, an overview page, a filterable table, and a basic plugin detail page.

I’m also hoping to make a small PR in the nearby stats codebase while I keep iterating.

A bit of my public work is here:

Hey all, quick update. I put together a small prototype here: https://github.com/wenkikikiki/plugin-modernizer-mvp

It ingests data from metadata-plugin-modernizer at build time and renders an overview page with some ecosystem metrics, a filterable table, and per-plugin detail stubs. Still rough, but wanted to get something visible early.

Would love any feedback on which metrics or views would be most useful.
