GSoC 2026 — Beginner contributor interested in SymPy (docstring improvements)

[Shaik Kareena]

Hello SymPy community,

My name is Kareena Shaik and I am a beginner contributor interested in participating in Google Summer of Code 2026 with SymPy.

I recently started contributing by working on documentation improvements, specifically improving docstring clarity (example: sympy/core/symbol.py). I am learning the contribution workflow and actively trying to fix beginner-friendly issues.

I would like guidance on:

• Recommended beginner issues for GSoC preparation  
• Areas where documentation or beginner contributions are most helpful  
• Suggestions on how to prepare a strong GSoC proposal for SymPy  

I am comfortable with Python and currently focusing on understanding the SymPy codebase.

Thank you for your guidance.
