Google Code-in

This task is meant for people who are looking for a Beginner task involving some code. If you aren't confident in writing code, you might want to have a look at "Run a local BookBrainz server using Docker".

This task is about migrating the icons used on BookBrainz to official react-fontawesome package icons. You will need to complete one of the sub-tasks of the BB-363 ticket on our ticket tracker and submit a PR (pull request) to complete the task.

First, you need to setup local BookBrainz server by following these instructions. It involves installing dependencies using Docker, cloning the BookBrainz project, configuration, setting up the Database and finally running the web server. If everything went well, you should now have local BookBrainz server running at localhost:9099.

Next, you need to sign up for an account on Metabrainz JIRA, our issue tracker.

Once you are all set up, you will select one sub-task of the ticket BB-363 and assign it to yourself (not the ticket, just a sub-task). Visit the ticket for further instructions.

If you face any issues or have questions, feel free to ask them on our IRC channel.
