This is an open-source project built by Team MetaKGP for event Dashboard of the 5th Inter-IIT Tech Meet held at IIT Kanpur. Dashboard is a web application that encompasses all requirements of a student at campus, at a single place. This includes features such as -

• Community curated content such as How-To guides, Yellow pages, Course reviews
• Search for previous year Question papers
• Search for professors based on their research projects and fields of expertise
• Academic Timetable scraper for calendar notifications
• In-campus event calendar
• Dedicated newsfeed of campus-related Facebook posts
• Driver status & Cab sharing portals
• Buy & Sell portal
• Lost / Found portal

• Naresh Ramesh
• Athitya Kumar
• Ayush Goyal
• Rameshwar Bhaskaran

Since this web interface has been built on MEAN stack, these dependencies have to be installed first -

• Nodejs
• Yarn
• Mongodb

After they have been installed, yarn install will install all the other dependencies. Following this, simply node app.js should be rendering to localhost:3000.

Multiple sub-modules have been integrated to make this Dashboard, a single go-to place for students. These sub-modules are much more well maintained, and have a bigger community developing it.

• Wiki (Deployed)

The Wiki is NOT just a deployed version of the open-sourced MediaWiki. It has it's own specialities of automization - with PyWikiBots. For example, all course pages that have been populated on the Wiki with grade dstributions - have been created by bot blackjack. Similarly, there are more Wiki bots that we use - such as, batman and kakashi.
