Re: Self Introduction of Pranali Deshmukh for GSoD 2020

Hi Pranali,

Thanks for the introduction and your interest in GSoD 2020.

Since you already seem to have the understanding of how things work, from your oureachy attempt,
I think the best way is to start making a plan and break-down the tasks required in order to achieve

the project idea you are targeting for. This will provide a decent base for making a proposal and getting

it review-ed by the concerned mentors beforehand. For the context required for the task, I just had a 
skim of your project idea target on [1] and it seems a lot of reference material is linked there itself with

potential mentors who might have vouched for the idea.

I understand that there might be a conundrum in choosing/monitoring various communication channels
(e.g. mailing list, discourse.gnome.org, IRC, chat.gnome.org .... ) but it's something you need to do initially
to see which mentors prefers what mode of communication. After lurking for a while, you will get the hang
of it and will figure out the "primary" mode of communication.

So have you gone through the reference materials linked on [1]? Do you have any specific questions and/or
inputs about it? Maybe then this list would be more useful to you.

Hi,

I am Pranali Deshmukh. I am currently working with Airbus Operations ltd. as a Data analytics Intern. My internship ends in August 2020.

I am writing to build an application for GSoD2020 with GNOME. After going through the project ideas for GNOME, I'm most interested in the following two projects: Content audit and gap analysis for GNOME - help update App Help. Having gone through the project ideas listed at the project ideas page, and the requirements for a technical writer, I feel that I am fit for the position as I already have experience in technical writing from my Outreachy project attempt for "Haiku". Also, I have worked extensively on technical documentation projects in the course of my internship at Airbus. As such I would like to talk to a mentor.

In the past, I tried to reach out to some of the folks for a conversation, but I guess the best way to do it is to talk in more open - and here I am.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Kind Regards,
Pranali Deshmukh
