Query regarding Google Summer Of Code

[Muskan Vaswan]

Hello again, I am Muskan and I have a few questions regarding GSoC 2021.

Are contributions to django/djangoproject (the tickets trac) considered in GSoC. While the dashboard itself is mentioned on the wiki page I was wondering if it extends to the issue tracker itself to. If so, then would fixing UI/UX bugs (large enough) be considered a valid contribution to GSoC? 
Besides this, regardless of GSoc, what is the process of approval for UI/UX fixes in any of the django projects/sub-projects? Does this process stay the same in consideration of a GSoC proposal?

Is there any mentor or such, that we as GSoC aspirants can get in tough with before the submissions of proposals so we can more more freely ask doubts specifically related to our potential proposals?

Hello Muskan,

"We're still going to be strict with what we accept - you'll need to provide a strong use case for your idea and show that it would be useful to a majority of developers or significantly improve the development of Django itself."

This is from the wiki page for GSoC 2021. So I believe you could submit a GSoC proposal for UI/UX but your proposal would need to greatly impact a sizable amount of developers.

As for UI/UX fixes, I believe the process is the same as normal tickets: you submit a ticket on the issue tracker, people review it and establish consensus, and then you submit a patch following said consensus.

If you're looking to get feedback on your proposal, submit it on the forums under Mentorship. Plenty of people will take a look at it and will help you get on the right track.
