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.
