# Google Summer of Code blog posts
# Google Summer of Code — Student Blogs

## Introduction

This is a collection of blog posts from GSoC students who worked with HumanAI.
Each year, HumanAI students share their GSoC journey through blog posts, covering everything from their
first lines of code to final results. These are real stories from real researchers applying machine
learning to arts, humanities, music, literature, and more.

Same as in gsoc_proposal.ext: this card layout expects structured fields like difficulty, requirements, tags, and duration on each proposal, but existing proposals typically don’t define them in front matter. This will cause most cards to show only the title; consider adding front-matter fields or simplifying the card until the data is available.

The proposal cards reference proposal.difficulty, proposal.requirements, proposal.tags, and proposal.duration, but the existing proposal pages appear to express these as Markdown sections (e.g. ## Requirements, ## Duration) rather than front-matter fields. As a result, these loops will render empty for most/all proposals; either add these fields to proposal front matter (preferred for structured display) or adjust the card template to only render data that actually exists.

This PR adds gsoc/how-to-apply.md, but the new guide isn’t linked from the primary navigation. Consider adding a "How to Apply" item under the GSoC dropdown (e.g. pointing to /gsoc/how-to-apply.html) so users can discover it.
