[Gsoc-orga] GSoC Application Inquiry – Modernize the 3D Model Repository

[Sarah Hoffmann]

Hi Yatharth,

if you have already worked through the setup, please created a list of potential
changes (based on both on the changes we mention in the project idea and on
any other improvements you'd like to include). This will serve as the
starting point for your final project plan and timeline. Feel free to share
that with us for further feedback and refinement.

As a rule, we also ask applicants for small code contributions as an
opportunity to show their skills. One way to do this would be to write one
simple test for the code base and send it in together with the explanation
what it tests and why you chose to test what you did.

Kind regards

Sarah

I am particularly interested in modernizing the 3D Model Repository (3DMR) by integrating glTF support and upgrading its Django-based architecture. To ensure I am well-prepared for the project, I have already set up a local copy of the existing codebase and familiarized myself with its structure.
