Hello Mentors ! My name is Dhruv sharma i am applying for GSOC this year and i am highly interested in New Contributor Project but i am facing some problems that are as follows: 1. Is it mandatory to perform all the application tasks ? 2. I am interested in "Designing of the app" and in "Contributing to tutorials" but not in "Contributing to tools" so is it possible that i contribute or make changes only in those task in which i am interested or should i ought to know every part of the project ? 3. I am facing very difficulty in building the application from the source on my local machine, i am getting lots of errors while running .py scripts and i am not able to find all the issues on internet so whom should i contact for such errors ?
