Hi, This email is mostly addressed to Christopher Baines, due to the Outreachy.
In the last email to me, you said this about my next steps on contributing: "In terms of what to do next, you could continue on this derivation comparison path. Some of the code you've got here could be used to make the data better right when the database is queried. Take the recursive field for outputs for example, it would be better to convert it to a boolean where the database query is made." I looked for something related to that in the project and I found interesting stuff on comparison.scm, is this the relevant file to make the data better? I could see that the queries are made in there. For example, the test I used for the outputs field "recursive" (recursive. ,(string=? recursive 't')) on controller.scm I moved to the function derivation-outputs-differences-data on comparison.scm, and it worked properly. Is this the kind of change I should be doing? In case of a yes, which kind of improvements should I be aiming for? Furthermore, should I try to achieve any improvements to the queries itself, or this is not necessary? -- Best Regards, Luciana Lima Brito MSc. in Computer Science
