That place should\nhave links to microprojects ideas.\n\nhttps://git.github.io/General-Microproject-Information/ is one of\nthe canonical starting point.\n\nNo microprojects done by new contributors \"could help\" us, as a\nmicroproject by definition is a trivial \"Hello world\" project that\nis to help new contributors dip their toes in the water, getting\nintroduced to the development process.  Look at the list archive\nhttps://lore.kernel.org/git and see what other aspiring GSoC\napplicants are already working on.\n\nHave fun.\n"}]}
