Hi everyone, please make sure to submit your proposals before time on the GSoC’s portal.
Thank you, everybody, for your interest and for your applications. We now await the results (regarding which projects have been accepted) to be announced in a couple of weeks.
In the meantime, we have a test site live at test.scicommons.org. The site now needs to be adversarially tested, and bugs reported so that we can fix them – we would greatly appreciate all help in this area. You can use Github to file the issues. Thank you !

Hello everybody, The GSoC results have been announced, I believe, and we have had 1 proposal that was accepted for this project.
A few notes here:
- Thank you to everyone who worked hard on their proposals.
- We rank the proposals and then GSoC and INCF together work to allocate a certain number of slots across the org: GSoC decides the number of slots. This year, around 8 % of proposals were accepted (compared to 16 % or so last year, I hear), and so getting 1 proposal accepted for this project is the median expectation for us based on recent history; sometimes, we have had up to 3, but 1 is very much the norm.
- If you were not accepted this year, but the project speaks to you, then if you are able, I encourage you to work actively with the project and potentially apply next year. We have had multiple interns in recent years (and this one too), who were unsuccessful in their first attempt, but applied again the next year – making contributions as a volunteer is the best way to strengthen one’s application for the following year.
I hope this helps answer any questions you may have. All the best from our side.
