@Saurabh_Shukla Hey there! No need to rush with wireframes as we’re waiting for the usability research to conclude! Written ideas are welcome

To GSoC applicants, some general feedback that I’ve shared with others:
- Our tech stack is fixed, we cannot change it unfortunately. You’ll have to adapt to it!
- Your main deliverable/responsibility is Web development, not usability research nor user interface design, don’t worry about the latter!
- Proposing content updates is good however we’re still waiting for the results from our usability research which will inform both the user interface and the content.
- We’re looking for technical ability to translate UI/wireframes into mobile-responsive code successfully.
- About adding multimedia content or other features, consider Web privacy standards; we try to avoid adding scripts that could compromise privacy – a good guide to follow with regards to this: https://webprivacy.rocks/
- Don’t propose a fresh landing page from the start. We’re following a user-centered design process which means that the research results will inform the design of the landing page and content updates.
- Don’t create any pull requests, it’s not a requirement for project approval.
- Principally, Snowflake helps users access the Tor network where the Tor network is censored
- Take your time to learn more about Tor: Tor Project | History
Good luck with your GSoC proposal!

I’ll admit I’m a bit in the dark about what exactly needs to be submitted for the GSoC proposal but I have been made aware of this guide: Writing a proposal | Google Summer of Code Guides

Hi @raya, I have made some changes to my proposal and wanted a review if you are free. Should I resend it to you for a review or you will review it from my GSoC application and suggest changes?
Which point? Not sure I understand.
I can quickly review it through DM first

I just want to know on which basis you guys will select? Like pull request is not allowed… Then which type of skills you guys are looking for? Mainly what you guys want and what should I do right now?
Hi @raya Ma’am, I have sent you an email at (raya@torprojects.org) my proposal and points where I want review . Kindly check it out.
Thank you
We’re looking for web development skills, an eye for design, creativity, lots of things! Don’t forget that Snowflake forms a small part of the censorship circumvention arena, that in itself should inspire a lot! Some of the questions I’m personally thinking about:
- After we improve the snowflake landing page, should we think of creating landing pages for other pluggable transports?
- Are we able to creatively interpret usability research results?
- How can we balance between additional website features, localization needs (the page will be translated in many languages – so every word update will have a ripple effect in terms of future workload), and web privacy concerns?
Etc.
