Hi Kefu, I apologize for the late reply. I have been looking into the PR you mentioned earlier https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/14946 . I have also explored the Calamari Dashboard in the past few days. I have some queries. I guess since Calamari Dashboard already does the job of visualizing the statistics of a Ceph cluster (health, OSDs, MONs, pools, IOPS, space utilization etc), we would primarily be improving on its UI/UX, that is to say the visualization portion and some other functionalities. Please do correct me if I am wrong in this. Moreover, Calamari Dashboard is made up of Calamari Server (backend) and Calamari Clients (frontend). I found out that Calamari Server uses a new REST API instead of being based upon the CEPH REST API. Will I be working on improving this new REST API? Moreover, Calamari Server is written in Django and django-rest-framework. However in the prototype of the dashboard mentioned in the PR above, I could find that the dashboard is using CherryPy too. CherryPy is a minimalist framework which is good for prototyping and makes it very easy. Meanwhile Django is more of a complete web application stack. So will we be using a single technology primarily, or a combination of both? Last thing I want to ask is for what kinds of things I should be contacting you and for what kind of things I should be contacting John? Since John is my mentor on this project and I can see him working on most of the Dashboard portion on GitHub, I presume for any dashboard related issue I should contact him. And also to whom should I send the weekly report of my progress on my project?
