Update: New project ideas

[Michelle Zhuo]

Hello everyone,

As some of you asked, we've updated our project ideas list, and added a few new projects for you to choose from.

Now we have 4 projects, and each project has one or more tasks, so that you have more flexibility to choose some of or all the tasks in one project for your proposal. We've grouped the UI tasks into one larger UI project.

We've also added a proposal template, which is optional to use.

As some of you have noticed, we've received a few PRs since the original project ideas list were published, and we're grateful for your contributions! On the other hand, in order to keep the application process fair, we decided to take the projects with PRs off our list after careful consideration. I didn't know that the actual coding work of the listed projects should only start after the application results are announced, and I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. We value your time and effort spent on Shaka Player / Shaka Streamer, and sincerely hope that an early notice before the application is better than an announcement after two months. Thank you so much for your understanding!

If you have your proposal already done with the original list projects, feel free to use them as your application proposal. 

Please see the full updated project ideas list here. If you have any questions, please send it here, to me, or via the Slack channel, instead of posting on the Github issues.
