GSOC Community Bonding period

[06/03/2021] I had a first meeting with almost all mentors/students and got to know about all the diffrent projects of this year
[06/04/2021] I had my first meeting with my mentors, During this first meeting, we have done self-introduction and looked to a overview of the project and decided to meet every week to show the progress of the project and to discuss about next steps and I am so glad to know my mentors and I will have a great journey of GSOC in this summer!

GSOC Coding period

Week one

Today is first day of first week I have gone through several documentations on Qanary framework to understand more about it and to start with the project we decided to work on this three category first
1) Basic conversation
2) Configure settings
3) Question answer system

So in Basic conversation there will be intents like Welcome intent, Fallback intent, Smalltalks and DBpedia questions like What is DBpedia? How to contribute to DBpedia?

Configure settings contains intents like (de-)activate components (this status needs to be stored) and Get information about the current Qanary pipeline configuration intent

Finally in Question answer system I need to create a intent which saves the user questions and send it to Qanary via API and after the whole qanary process it gives us the answer of the given question then we have to show it via dialogflow.

[6/7/2021] Created GitHub repository
[6/7/2021] I have created below intents
1) Basic conversation
Welcome Intent
Fallback Intent
SmallTalks
2) DBpedia questions
What is DBpedia?
How to contribute to DBpedia?
Later today I have added suggestion chip response to both of the DBpedia questions
