* First pull request on my college community’s website, ALiAS - Maintainer since 2016.
* vipulgupta2048/opengisproj_mirror- Involved building a web app for real-time monitoring of pollution levels in rivers of India and to assess the impact on the health of people using the water from the river. The working repo is private, hence a public mirror for showcasing.
* vipulgupta2048/scrape Scraping major news websites/outlets in India using Scrapy [Python] Managing the data flow by employing PostgreSQL. Finding fake news using Machine Learning with help of libraries (Word2vec)
* Fixed bugs, wrote blogs, added new features using HTML, CSS and JS for the official website of the premier conference on Python in India, PyCON India 2017 ( Here and here)
* gitlab/asetalias/Community-Connect [Ongoing]
* Completed: Hacktoberfest Challenge; Here.
* Building and mentoring website development for Pyladies Delhi Chapter Pyladies-delhi-website
* Recent contribution: In Sugar Labs
Along with this, Python Delhi User Group (PyDelhi) is a volunteer-driven organization comprising of Pythonistas, enthusiasts, who have a primary focus in Python. I help by volunteering and organizing meetups for them. <br />
I am a committee member of my college’s open source community. ALiAS (Amity Linux Assistance Sapience) We conduct hands-on workshops, seminars, talks and much more to try and help as many people as we can along the process and motivate them to make their first PR.<br />
I genuinely love spreading knowledge among peers/juniors/underprivileged children wherever I can through my voice (Talks and workshops) and my words (Tech-Blog)

''''''About You''''''
Documentation tools have become modern, lighter, easier to use with the use of Sphinx, Github pages/wiki, Mkdocs and many more similar frameworks and applications. It’s easily the first and the most important steps for any open-source projects implemented by almost everybody.<br />

If people know more, they would want to get involved and contribute more. This would, in turn, help the entire community to grow and expand. If the information (Documentation) is accessible fast, easily comprehensible, simple enough to edit and manage for people then I think this project will help really help Sugar Labs achieve that.

'''My understanding of the problem and why it needs to be solved?'''<br />
Documentation, as mentioned before, is important to all open-source projects. Sugar Labs has all documentation for its learner applications called “Activities” at one place in the Activities#Sugar_Activities. Some problem (#risks) that I found with this sort of implementation is as follows:-

Difficult to add, edit and manage - In reference to the conversation [archive/sugar-devel] As a user, I need to create an account for editing privileges. Which is very tiresome to be very honest, hence discouraging contributions.
Size issues - Wiki is being hosted on the a server. With the growing number of activities, the size occupied by them will increase leading to rise in maintenance cost. Not to mention buying more space.

No clear format/classification - Some links are for one activity only while other activities have multiple links for them (example Turtle Art) Results in time being wasted of the user even if they are justified.

Found 2 wiki pages of the same activity. (this page and this too)

I did extensive research on the same and found many such problems with the wiki. According to my experience in open-source, users just need information fast, easily accessible and neatly organized.
