Hi Satwik, Great to hear that you're interested in participating in GSoC with Scrapy. I believe you can start with presenting yourself: * regarding prior open source contributions, * your programming skills (languages, level), * your familiarity with Python, Jupyter and Scrapy if any, to web scraping in general also perhaps, * any other particular skills you have that would make you a good fit for the project you've chosen etc.
We appreciate that candidate GSoC students start contributing early on, submit issues and Pull Requests for new or existing issues on GitHub. This helps mentors estimate how the collaboration would go during GSoC (code quality, asynchronous communucation via GitHub, reaction to code reviews etc.) Documentation contributions are always welcome, but GSoC is about programming so patches to the Python code of Scrapy (or Splash, Frontera etc.) is what mentors will value. That particular project idea, an Jupyter IDE for Scrapy, has one potential mentor listed, Mikhail Korobov. And he linked a proof of concept demo. Have you looked at it? What do you think of it? How would you change it? Hope this helps, Paul. On Tuesday, February 7, 2017 at 3:25:45 PM UTC+1, Satwik Kansal wrote: > > Hi everyone! > > I'm Satwik from New Delhi, India.
