Dear Martin and GCC Community, Thank you for clarifying the GSoC requirements for GCC. While I initially hoped to work on the GCC webpages, I am still very eager to participate in *GSoC 2025 with GCC* and contribute to the project in a meaningful way. I would be happy to pivot my focus to areas that align more closely with *compiler development, testing infrastructure*, or other aspects within GCC’s core scope.
As I am relatively new to compiler development, I would greatly appreciate any guidance on beginner-friendly areas or potential projects in these areas that may be suitable for GSoC. I am committed to expanding my skills in *C/C++* and learning any additional technologies needed to contribute effectively. Thank you again for your insights, and I look forward to any advice you may have on potential contributions.
