GSoC Report for Week 1 of Phase 2

I’m excited to have made progress on exploring the diffs for various websites. I've looked at 5 different agency websites and have gone through changes between the webpages back in the late 90s and recent ones as well. I've kept all the diff csvs in a Google Drive folder for future use.

I worked on the following issues:

• Determine key features in diffs that could be used for filtration
• Create functions that ID/characterize page elements for later use in filtration

I completed the following issues:

• Document the differences in the data format of the different sources (PageFreezer, Versionista). I've added a few of the remaining fields. The issue hasn't been closed but can be considered as done for now. The PR has been merged and the documentation is available in the repository.

Thanks for adding this summary @janakrajchadha!

When you say:

I closed the following issues:

If you didn't actually close the issue (it's still open at the moment), it might be clearer to just say "completed this issue". But I think you're still actively working on this a bit, per conversations in Slack, right?

@suchthis Yeah, it's not closed because there are some fields (very few) which aren't described yet. I consider the issue as closed because an initial draft of the documentation has been pushed and explains most of the details of all formats. Just adding the remaining details with help from @Mr0grog and hopefully more information from PageFreezer.
