GSoC Blog Platform

Students should start by reading the guidelines for participation. Google also provides guidelines to help with writing a proposal as part of their GSoC Student Guide. It is a good idea to start on your proposal early, post a draft to the python-gsoc chat room and let one of the mentors know so they can review it and iterate based on the feedback you receive. This will only improve the quality of your proposal.

Getting Started

1) Pull down the code and look at the README and make sure you can run the code.
2) Log in using the default credentials admin/admin
3) Check out the bite sized issues There's suggestions about good beginner tasks there, or talk to the mentors and come up with your own! This will be your first contribution!
