Retrospective Week

Inspiration

Retrospective week allowed us to look back at our old projects, improvise them and explore all the amazing projects made by other fellows. We decided to work on chunked issues so we could explore more projects in short amount of time.

Contributions

Ctakes-ext : Build new requirements.txt file

• Description : Previously, the requirements were bloated and buggy. We re-wrote the requirements.txt and cleaned up the references through-out the repository.

Issue 1 : Overeager Python Dependencies

• Description : Previously, the python server dependencies were over-eager and versions were up to date but were not available for all platforms. Windows users as well as cloud servers could not install the dependencies. We fixed them.

Issue 2 : Linter actions fail to run on forks
