@ugurdogrusoz My name is Santam. I am proficient in JavaScript and Frontend Development using React. I would like to start contributing to this project. Can you guide me as to how to get started?

ugurdogrusoz commented 2 years ago

@SantamRC Thanks for your interest. This is not the time to do this project. This is an idea, based on which you may put together a proposal hopefully when NRNB is selected as an organization. Feel free to learn related technologies, etc. though.

A reminder that the application period opens on Monday April 4.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: GSoC 2022 is for new “beginners” to open source.

Applicants are expected to review eligibility requirements prior to applying. We can not accept applications from contributors with prior open source development experience. From the GSoC FAQ https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/faq:

Can someone already participating in open source be a GSoC Contributor?

The goal of GSoC is to bring new contributors into open source organizations. GSoC can also help beginner contributors learn the ins and outs of open source while being mentored by experienced community members. GSoC is for new and beginner contributors to open source, it is not for experienced contributors to open source.
