Metadata Update from @labbott: - Issue tagged with: Outreachy
I really like this project idea but we'd need to define the application tasks better for first time contributors since there are none right now. I'm also worried that starting a project from scratch with no code checked in is difficult for many Outreachy applicants. The deadline for Outreachy is approaching fairly quickly. Would you be open to moving this for the May-Aug round?
@labbott, agreed that will leave me more time to work on the tasks and setup an initial project.
We're midway through the current session so it's time to think about the next session. Would you be willing to specify this out a bit more for next round?
Metadata Update from @cverna: - Issue status updated to: Closed (was: Open)
Closing this but preparing a new proposal for a project that might be more suitable.
