Mission to create JavaScript to add the jQuery object serialization to the site

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create JavaScript to add the jQuery object serialization to the site.

The day of the operation is October 26th, 2021

You will have 4 hours to complete your mission.

An open science project to uncover the planetary virome, freely and openly

You will be joining a team of the boldest

of all Red Hatters for this mission, who will be at your service developing the code and automating the deployment to OpenShift.

• Should you, or any of your force be taken or compromised that day, you must report back as many changes as you have made, and any knowledge of your actions, by pull request or comments on the issue on the board.

How to get started:

Follow the instructions here to setup the project: https://github.com/team19hackathon2021/serratus-api/

The details of your mission:
