I really have few ideas for GSOC'25, should we create separate issue for it or should we have discussion in this same thread?

[nicolas-raoul]

@neeldoshii
Fantastic!
Creating GitHub issues would be the best to get feedback from several people. Or you can record them in your Phabricator draft if you prefer.
No need to post them in this ticket, I believe. :-)

Discussion

Fix 1 bug by following the instructions at the "Developers" section here. Fixing bugs is a good opportunity to demonstrate that you can work on the app.

I was thinking—how about we add a Good First Issue label for fixing Android Studio warnings, specifically for new developers? (As when we run test its seems we see so many logs of lint issues)
Once, the GSOC era will start, I believe we could attract more fresh contributors to the repo. For instance, we could add an issue related to fixing Android Studio-related problems (something like this) to help improve our linting issues.

• [Cleanup]: Fix Android Studio Warnings ankidroid/Anki-Android#13282

The main advantage of doing this is that it would create an easier onboarding path for new contributors.

What do you think everyone?

Hi @nicolas-raoul and @neeldoshii,

Thank you for sharing these insights! I'm excited about contributing to this organization and being part of GSoC 2025.

I appreciate the idea of labeling issues like fixing Android Studio warnings as Good First Issues, as it can make onboarding smoother for new contributors like me. I would love to start by working on such issues and improving my understanding of the codebase.

Could you guide me on how to begin? Should I start by exploring the current lint-related issues in the repository, or would you recommend any specific steps to familiarize me with the project setup?

Looking forward to your guidance and contributing to this great initiative!

Best regards,
Debopriya

Great idea @neeldoshii !

I shamelessly stole the whole issue from our AnkiDroid friends.

@Debopriya-codes Would you mind giving it a try? #5996 If anything feels off please comment on that issue.

Thanks both! 🙂

Looking forward to your guidance

[neeldoshii]

Hi @Akshaykomar890,

Thanks for showing interest for contributing for commons app! For getting started with commons I would recommend getting started, all the docs for android-commons you can find here. and for gsoc read this doc

[Akshaykomar890]

Thank you for the information @neeldoshii I’ll go through the provided documentation . I’m excited to get started and contribute to the project.

Hi all,

Here is the suggested proposal for GSoC 2025: Improve the app using AI and especially embedded LLMs

Note: You are also free to imagine your own proposal if you prefer. Or even apply with two proposals: the proposal you imagined + the suggested proposal.

[parneet-guraya]

Hi @nicolas-raoul , I can't seem to find wikimedia-foundation in accepted orgs for GSOC 25. Could you confirm?

Thanks!
