Question regarding GSoC

[Akshay]

There's a project ideas page for GSoC and this page says 

> You will need to create an account on GitHub and submit at least one pull request to SymPy along with your application.

I am curious if one of the project ideas need to be built before the application process or they're just a list of ideas you'd plan to build.
In case of the latter, can the said PR to be sent with our applications be issues, new features, or anything?

[Aasim]

The list of ideas suggests plausible GSoC projects that a GSoC contributor 

will work on during the coding period if they are selected.And a PR isn't "sent with" 

the application but rather mentioned in it; it is the work you do with the organization 

before the GSoC period. It can be a patch that fixes an existing bug, or an 

addition of a well-discussed feature, a feature enhancement, or some contribution 

along those lines. The purpose behind this rule is so that the mentors can have 

an assurance that the applying contributor has had some prior experience working 

on the codebase.

The pull request can be anything but I would suggest doing something
that shows us that you are capable of completing your project. That
means it should be something that shows coding ability. Doing
something that's related to your project is a good idea because you
will need to familiarize yourself with that part of the codebase
anyways, but it isn't required.
