• a) Home page, "See how civic tech is used by:" shows 8 contributors but in organizations contributors shows only 6. Furthermore I don't find very intuitive that clicking on these contributor logo/link I go to their home page. I think it's better the link from "Organizations" that goes to their CivicTech Org page.
• b) In list of projects by an organization, the "Sort by" doesn't seem to work.
• c) In "Organizations" page I select contributors, I click on one contributor, see its projects, hit "back" and contributor flag is not set anymore.
  • Refactor Organizations page to track user behavior in URL #1081
• d) In "Organizations" page, below "Want to add your Organization?" the button says "Add Your Project" - Maybe that's the path to add an organization, but it looks contradictory.
  • Update Button to "Add Your Organization" on Organization's Page #1197
• e) Modal to add an Organization doesn't do validation (of email or URL), at least not going to "next" step (I'm not trying to submit).
  • Implement an "Incorrect Field Indicator" for Add Org Form in Tag Generator Wizard #1198
  • Design an "Incorrect Field Indicator" for Tag Generator Wizard #1199
• f) Add Project: I select an Organization, next step I enter an invalid URL (I get the message of repo not found). I hit "back" on browser and it brings me to the page for 3rd step (add tags), repo URL is empty.
  
  moving forward, the system selected "code-for-all" org tag but I had selected "Codeando Mexico" organization.
  
  • Validate Database Information on Children and Grandchildren of Code for All on Organizations page #1200
• g) In Project Search, I can just search for "a", maybe require to enter at least 3 letters?
• h) Sometimes, clearing the filtering of projects (language, org) cause a "technical issues, please try again later".
  • Resolve API Rate limitation  #117

@giosce Thank you for the review! We are currently processing your comments now and we will write back on a future comment if we have questions

[smsada]

a) We have made the suggested change
b) The sort by feature seems to be working, except the product team is unclear what the best match is supposed to do and we will follow up with the development team. Is there any other sort that you would recommend besides last updated and stargazer
- "Best match" has been removed as it was an automatic filter that stemmed from the system used to make calls to github
c) We are in the process of refactoring the Oranizations page to use arguments in the URL so that path will be maintained when hitting back button and the pages will be bookmarkable.

• Refactor Organizations page to track user behavior in URL #1081

d) We plan to change the submit organization button to "Add your Organization" instead

• Update Button to "Add Your Organization" on Organization's Page #1197

e) We plan to implement indicators that a field has not been filled if it is required or incorrect that also contains a message about what the end user's issue was

• Implement an "Incorrect Field Indicator" for Add Org Form in Tag Generator Wizard #1198
• Design an "Incorrect Field Indicator" for Tag Generator Wizard #1199

f) The problem we found is that there is no default topic tag for this organization, so when you choose this organization it doesn't add the valid repos to the organization page. Need to verify that every organization in the Organization page has an alias.

• All organizations that are under code for all need to be represented on the Code For All's drop-down on the organization page as children. Code For All's Organizations are being audited so the site reflects the correct information about Code For All's grandchildren Organizations
• Validate Database Information on Children and Grandchildren of Code for All on Organizations page #1200

g) Post-MVP: matters more when traffic is high enough that we run into API call limits
h) Add this to the issue about talking to Github and the API rate limit on the search page. Here is an example: something to be handled when we have enough traffic
