Hi Shubham, please keep the conversation on the mailing list, so everybody stays up-to-date.
Regarding my questions about your experience: I was confused by the fact that your email name doesn't match the name you signed this email with. That latter name I have seen on phabricator, and I am aware of your work there. The "sticky notes" project appears to be quite popular, so maybe you want to focus on another one? Or actually propose your own: The Okular bug tracker is full of feature requests that would make good projects.
