Lois Wells contributed to the RaspberryPiFoundation/editor-api repository by developing and iterating on backend features focused on class-teacher relationships and contextual project information. She explored architectural options for supporting multiple teachers per class, implementing and then reverting a join table and related API changes to validate design choices while maintaining codebase stability. In a separate effort, Lois prototyped a Context API endpoint to expose project context, later rolling back the feature to refine security boundaries and rollback processes. Her work utilized Ruby on Rails, SQL, and Jbuilder, demonstrating a disciplined approach to experimentation, risk assessment, and future-proofing backend architecture.
March 2025 monthly summary for RaspberryPiFoundation/editor-api: Delivered an initial Context API Endpoint prototype (route, controller action, JSON view) to expose contextual project information; implemented with commit 268b7faf830a6aa96204f909427851a412dc4a4e. Subsequently reverted the context route and adjusted access control (route/controller/view removed; ability updated to exclude the 'context' action) with commit ef08fba0def2fe43bf0b8c29bfd4aecf0b3e5479. The exercise clarified security boundaries and rollback workflow, informing future contextual feature design and governance.

Monthly work summary for 2024-11: Focused on architectural experimentation in the RaspberryPiFoundation/editor-api repository to evaluate multi-teacher support for class-teacher relationships. Executed a two-commit cycle: first adding a multi-teacher model (class_teachers join table, rename class_members to class_students, and API/controller/view updates) and then reverting the change to restore a single-teacher-per-class structure. This work prioritized stability while validating design options and informed future roadmap decisions. No customer-facing deployments this month; the outcome strengthens the codebase with explicit architectural decisions and prepares groundwork for future features.
