HIGHEST GOOD NETWORK PROGRESS

Highest Good Network® Application, improving city efficiency, creating the world we wantOne Community is creating the global eco-renaissance through open source Highest Good Network® software that is a web-based application for collaboration, time tracking, and objective data collection. The purpose of the Highest Good Network is to provide software for internal operations and external cooperation. It is being designed for global use in support of the different countries and communities replicating the One Community sustainable village models and related components.

This week, a core team member worked on Highest Good Network PRs testing, confirming the fixes for several PRs, including improving the Profile Page Teams Tab UX (PR #1927), resolving the issue with the “thank you” message not displaying when selecting the home country option on the profile initial setup page (PR #2056), and moving the “eye” icon on the Reset Password modal (PR #2066). However, several PRs remained unresolved, such as update of the tangible time process, default visible/invisible setting for the Mentor role, and the inability to prevent editing of Jae’s accounts despite PR #2026. Additionally, the Blue Square Scheduler still allows requests for time off for a week that has already passed (PR #1994). In addition to PR testing, a Volunteer account to test Tangible time updates and recorded a video for the Tangible time update task has been set up. The Highest Good Network software is how we’ll be managing and objectively measuring our process for creating the global eco-renaissance through our social architecture, construction, production, and maintenance processes. See below for pictures related to their work.

The Highest Good Network software is how we’ll be managing and objectively measuring our process for creating the global eco-renaissance throughout our social architecture, construction, production, and maintenance processes. Abdelmounaim updated the format and style of the blue square notification email, making PR #801 for this update. Additionally, he addressed the issue of the invalid date in the blue square description and submitted PR #2080 for these fixes. Furthermore, he improved the functionality of the time off indicator on the leaderboard, ensuring its visibility whenever a user has scheduled time off. Cheng-Yun focused on implementing a function to delete a member in the task and project if the member has been removed from the user profile. Haoji’s focus was on improving the loading time of the user management page within the application. Previously, the page required 26 seconds to fully load, which was identified as a performance bottleneck. After optimization efforts, the loading time has been reduced to less than 4 seconds, reflecting an 80% reduction. Jiadong focused on enhancing the dashboard by updating the badge display and improving the timelog section of the frontend. His work involved refactoring the tab contents to ensure they are more readable and easier to maintain, enhancing overall code quality and user experience. Lu focused on debugging test functions for critical components, including the AddTaskModal, EditTaskModal, and ImportModal files. She checked and used different ways for debugging, including checking Redux Action Dispatch to verify that the updateTask action creator in the EditTaskModal component is correctly defined and dispatched as a plain object. Malav developed DELETE_TIME_ENTRY_OWN feature and posted a Malav_Delete_Time_Entry_Own PR (#2087) with detailed documentation. Navneeth addressed a critical review on one of his pull requests, focusing on code cleanup and adding necessary functionality to enhance user experience. He responded to reviewer feedback and ensured that the PR was marked as a high-priority item for re-review. Additionally, Navneeth played a pivotal role in the ongoing development of the “Permissions Management: View and Interact with Task “✓ ”” feature, addressing implementation bugs and preparing the pull request for review with a “High Priority – Please Review First” tag.
