I’ve reviewed the GSoC proposal guidelines and previous accepted proposals for MIT App Inventor. Is there a preferred structure or evaluation emphasis (e.g., architectural analysis, milestone granularity, prior contributions alignment) that applicants should prioritize? Basically is there a format to follow?
Generally, we look at a combination of your GitHub contributions, how you engage in the community here, and in the proposal specifically we are looking to gauge your understanding of the code base as it relates to your specific project, an outline of the things you think you would introduce/change to support your project (e.g., if you're proposing a web UI change then you probably shouldn't be talking about the Android code, but should be focused on the client package in appengine), and a timeline for the summer as to what you'll implement and when.
Thanks for the guidance
