Hi everyone,
I hope you are all doing well!
I am writing to express my strong interest in the “Improve GRASS user experience in Jupyter Notebook” project for Google Summer of Code 2026.
Over the past few months, I have been actively contributing to the GRASS codebase. Recently, I had the opportunity to work closely with @petrasovaa and @veroandreo to implement the new legend.py module for InteractiveMap(PR #7072). This experience gave me a deep understanding of the grass.jupyter architecture, including the differences between folium/ipyleaflet backends, and how GRASS handles raster color tables.
I have spent the last week researching the core goals of this GSoC project (specifically Matplotlib integration and the grass.tools API migration). I am currently drafting a detailed project proposal, which includes a Proof of Concept (PoC) Jupyter Notebook and a set of Design/Testing Guidelines I plan to follow.
As my proposal is currently a work in progress, I wanted to ask: Once I have a solid draft ready, where is the best place to share it to get early feedback and corrections from the mentors? Should I share a link here on discourse, or is there a specific channel for proposal reviews?
Thank you for your time and for the continued guidance!
Best regards,
Saurabh Singh
