Specific ask of GSOC candidates - If you are coming to the Fineract Dev list for the first time, it is appropriate to have one or two sentences explaining your area of interest.
If you are trying to figure out how to set up Fineract in your environment, we ask that you try to follow the tutorials and examples provided in many places before you ask questions. >From our home page https://fineract.apache.org, there are several resources listed. Please read them and search the listserv archives.... it could be that your question was already answered. We also link to Adam's useful fineract-academy ... which is really useful for onboarding someone new to the project. https://fineract-academy.com/how-to-build-fineract-with-intellij-idea.html Please also review fully the steps required for any submission or PR (pull request). I would say that even draft PRs or reference to your code fork is a useful demonstration of learning, even if the PRs don't fully pass our tests and don't make it into the dev branch. Afterall, the GSOC program is about learning first and foremost. Finally, if after you have perhaps solved a deployment issue on your environment and think there may be useful insights please bring that back to the listserv. That could be a new set of instructions or advice for a new contributor. Best of luck. James
