I have already made a few contributions to the project (Update app help) however, so far, apart from the discussions on my merge requests I haven't been able to contact anyone from GNOME including the the GSoD mentors via any of the communication mediums (email, IRC). As such I am worried about applying for this project for GSoD, since there seems to be no medium for gathering any direct or indirect suggestions and feedback about the work that I can do for this project. Can you please help me contact any of the project mentors with whom I could talk to about the project itself.
