  1. GSoC'26 - Translator Feedback Loop [Week Report #8]

    For an overview of how things are going, see the Kanban board of the project

    Done this week:
    - Defaulted the translation queue status filter to "review" on a first visit, so translators land on the items waiting for feedback while the filter stays clearable (merged, #18).
    - Backfilled pre-existing Joomla associations into the translation queue on install, so already-translated articles show their real per-language state instead of "No translation yet" and are not offered for re-translation (merged, #74).
    - Added a component install script (postflight) that scans existing associations grouped by their shared key, seeds a queue row per source article and a state row per translation, and is idempotent so it is safe to re-run.

  5. Joomla Academy 2026 – Ajaxified Backend [Midterm Report]

    Here is a summary of the work completed during the first half of the coding period

    • Added SubmissionContext to derive the component, view, controller and normalized task action from submitted administrator forms.

    • Added SubmissionEligibility backed by server provided Joomla script options, allowing supported tasks to use AJAX while unsupported tasks continue through native form submission.

    • Added a reusable SubmissionTransport that submits the existing form as FormData, follows controller redirects and blocks duplicate in flight submissions for the same form.

    • Added ResponseSnapshot to parse the returned administrator document and collect the final response URL, canonical form, Joomla options, messages, assets and synchronization boundaries.

    • Added workspace synchronization for the browser URL, form action and server generated form controls after redirected actions such as Save and
