Project Idea

[AmrutaJayanti]

Hello Sir/Mam ,
My name is Amruta. I recently went through your past project ideas . I have an idea "Skill Exchange Platform" where the incharges of the platform will be students and it would be runned by students .

Title: Build a Skill-Exchange Platform for Collaborative Learning

Description: The platform allows students to exchange skills (e.g., teaching programming or graphic design), promoting peer learning. Students will manage the platform, creating a self-sustained environment for skill-building.

Key Features:

User Profiles: Showcase skills students can teach and learn.
Skill Matchmaking: Match students manually based on their listed skills.
Live Collaboration: Integrated video chat and collaborative tools (e.g., code editors, whiteboards).
Progress Tracking: Earn badges and track progress for motivation.
Forum Integration: Allow students to post queries or collaborate on mini-projects.
Tech Stack:

Frontend: React.js for dynamic UI.
Backend: Node.js with Express for API development.
Database: MongoDB for storing user profiles and skill data.
Tools: WebRTC for video chat, socket.io for real-time interactions.

Thanks. Your next step is to identify a Sugar Labs member who is;

• a contributor to one of the Sugar Labs software projects; Sugarizer, Sugar or Music Blocks, and;
• willing to be the Google Summer of Code mentor.

You need to be a bit more helpful in explaining which parts of my reply you didn't get. For instance; do you want to know about;

• Sugar Labs,
• membership,
• contributors,
• Sugarizer,
• Sugar,
• Music Blocks,
• Google Summer of Code, or;
• mentors.

p.s. please don't call me sir, it is not respectful in my egalitarian culture.

Thank you for your response. I apologize if my earlier message was unclear.
I would like guidance on how to identify and connect with contributors or members who might be interested in mentoring for Google Summer of Code. Specifically:

• How can I find active contributors in these projects?
• What steps should I take to approach potential mentors and present my idea to them?
