Re: [Sugar-devel] GSOC 2023 Proposal-review (Dhruv Mishra_1826)

2023-04-03 Thread Lionel Laské
Hi Dhruv,

You're supposed to send your proposal to review in PDF format as mentioned
in GSoC rules.
It's unfair to use Google Doc to restrict review to a limited set of users.

Regards.

Lionel

I'd love you to work on more than 12 activities for sure, I was only

Score and highscore can be added but time taken can be optional as that's
something different.\

Collaboration is something you'll have to think of if you want to work on a
