Have you participated in an open-source project before? If so, please send us URLs to your profile pages for those projects, or some other demonstration of the work that you have done in open-source. If not, why do you want to work on an open-source project this summer?
 I am new to Open Source. I have always been fascinated by the world of OSS, the way that people share their work with the world with only one objective : to make the world a better place. This is the reason I want to work on an open-source project.

About my project

What is the name of your project?
 Web Confusion

Describe your project in 10-20 sentences. What are you making? Who are you making it for, and why do they need it? What technologies (programming languages, etc.) will you be using?
 The project focuses on challenging the user on his/her html/css skills. This will be done over various levels(increasing difficulty as the levels increase). The idea is to help the user develop his personal website by giving challenges. I have divided the development of the personal website into XYZ(approx. 40 : final edit to be made) levels. The emphasis on making personal website is to keep the user motivated throughout the duration and this will act as an incentive to keep working hard. The challenge website will be a index of the levels each linked to a page which will have a challenge link and some description to help the user with the task at hand. Initially, the user will just make a template for his/her website and then tweaks to this design will be introduced so as to develop a fully functional website which will include a biography, his/her portfolio and blog.(Not sure if I should mention these things in the proposal here).

            • In the medium levels, the user will be taught to use HTML5 for audio/video embedding. In the end stages, use of bootstrap will be taught. By this time, user will be completely proficient in html and css and should be taught to use templates directly for making and editing professional websites. By learning bootstrap, user will be able to make a good looking, elegant website with ease.******


What is the timeline for development of your project? The Summer of Code work period is from May 19 - August 22; tell us what you will be working on each week. (As the summer goes on, you and your mentor will adjust your schedule, but it's good to have a plan at the beginning so you have an idea of where you're headed.) Note that you should probably plan to have something "working and 90% done" by the midterm evaluation (27 June); the last steps always take longer than you think, and we will consider cancelling projects which are not mostly working by then.
 I will be starting from May 4 because I have my end term evaluations of this semester till May 4.

Weeks Expected Tasks
May 4 - May 10 Discuss with my mentor about the different levels of the tasks and finalizing them.
May 12 Document a brief Report of the project features & implementation details discussed above & send it to my mentor for a quick review.
May 12-May 17 Reiterate the changes to the report after discussing with my mentor.
May 17-May 24 Create a website with index for all the levels and make a template for level pages.

Convince us, in 5-15 sentences, that you will be able to successfully complete your project in the timeline you have described. This is usually where people describe their past experiences, credentials, prior projects, schoolwork, and that sort of thing, but be creative. Link to prior work or other resources as relevant.

  • Gsoc is the top priority in Summer.
  • Can freely work 40-45 hrs a week during my vacation (May 15-July 15) & 30-35 hrs a week during college days.
  • Prior experience with front end web development and determination to get every project taken up done.
  • Creativity and critical thinking to decide how a topic should be taught to anyone so that they end up attaining complete knowledge of it.
