*Hello Fineract community and GSoC 2026 mentors,* I am writing to seek guidance on my GSoC 2026 proposal direction to ensure it aligns perfectly with the community’s expectations and the official validation process.
I have established strong momentum within the *Progressive Loan module* through *FINERACT-2520 (PR #5592)*. As of yesterday, the PR is *100% Green*, passing all *44 CI checks*. It is fully GPG-signed, verified, and formatted according to project standards. I’ve also resolved local environment blockers regarding the JDK 17/21 mismatch to ensure a stable setup for the summer. *Proposal Inquiry:* Given my familiarity with this module’s logic, I would like to propose a project focused on *"Functional Extensions and Logic Refinements for the Progressive Loan Module."* However, I have two specific questions regarding the selection process: 1. Since this specific title is not explicitly listed as a POC on the Confluence GSoC 2026 Ideas list, would proceeding with this custom direction cause any issues during the *proposal validation or review period*? I want to ensure my application remains competitive and technically "safe" for the project. 2. If the mentors prefer that all GSoC students strictly select an idea from the *official Confluence list* (such as the BI Connector or Loan Origination POC), I am more than happy to pivot. My primary goal is to contribute where the project needs it most. I would prefer to leverage my success with the disbursement charge logic to deliver production-ready enhancements, but I am ready to follow the community’s lead. Thank you for your time and for the ongoing mentorship. *Best regards,* Vignesh *GitHub:* Wiki05 <https://github.com/Wiki05> *LinkedIn:* vignesh-e-dev <https://www.linkedin.com/in/vignesh-e-dev/>
