Welcome Ayush, Thanks for your work so far.
It is too early to apply, but now is a good time to discuss your application ideas with us. Your idea is to do both our project ideas "Port Sugar and core activities to Python 3" and "Improve and maintain 25 Sugar activities"? After you have applied, we will compare your application with others, and forward our choice of applications to Google. https://github.com/sugarlabs/GSoC#want-to-work-with-us- has some of our guidance. Your work in the past two weeks is the only work on Sugar and activities by a GSoC applicant, but there's time yet for other applicants to demonstrate their work and fluency. https://github.com/pulls?page=2&q=is%3Apr+org%3Asugarlabs+archived%3Afalse It will be work between 9th December and 23rd April that will most influence my decision on which applications to forward. Your work so far has been of high quantity, but of low quality. Another student may compete with you on the basis of quality; so this is an opportunity for you to work on quality. Slow down. Many of your pull requests had review comments that showed you needed to do more work; such as design, coding, testing, or documenting. There were many foreseeable contingencies that you missed. We have many activities that are not used, because they are unfinished, or unreleased, or don't work because they have not been maintained against changing library environment. I've seen you hit many of them and have your pull requests stall. One of our primary goals is people using our software, so it must be working. Your focus on the scope of an issue or pull request is inconsistent with that. We make an exception for competitions such as GCI where time is also important, and you did begin work during GCI, so you may have been misled by our GCI reviewing pattern. You also have an opportunity to demonstrated you can use the libraries, tools and techniques that the project ideas refer to. Look through the project ideas and make sure you learn what you can. You should also learn how to review other people's pull requests. Hope that helps!
