Hey y'all! Here's my random tip of the day: When you're writing a project proposal for GSoC (or to be honest for most projects with a strict timeline) always make sure to leave time for testing / bug fixes and add some "bonus" features at the end of the timeline. If you have time to do the extra bits, that's great, but if you leave only non-essential stuff to the end, it doesn't matter if it doesn't happen if/when something goes more slowly than planned.

Hey all, I'll be reviewing all the PRs by tomorrow. Apologies for the delay, had a lot on my plate last week! You all might want to start off messing around with the slush generator too :)

Hey all - quick reminder that now's a good time to be thinking about your project proposals if you haven't already!!
If you'd like to see a proposal from last year from a successful GSoC student (not BioJS but still relevant), this one is a nice example: https://github.com/nupurgunwant/GSoC-Proposal

Hey y'all! I'm going to be out of the office for a few days, but will be back on April 1.

@all, it would be a good idea to get your proposals reviewed before submission. Since Yo will be back by April 1, it would be a great time to get them reviewed. :)

@sarthak-sehgal I have added the screenshots in this PR - biojs/biojs-frontend#97 as you said.
@/all, a general advice for the proposal - ideally you should be able to follow the timeline you lay out comfortable, that is, do not overcommit and try to have a buffer period at the end. We generally look for a minimum viable product (MVP) to be created by the end of the summer.
