Expertiza

Expertiza is an online collaboration tool for the students and instructors. It is an open source project developed on Ruby on Rails platform.

Motivation

Though expertiza is a great platform, there are quite a few enhancements in sending emails to users on the reviews, deadlines and accounts creations. So this contribution helps in learning to contribute to open source projects.
