* '''Submit small patches''': To assess students applying to GSoC for XSF projects we want them to have submitted some small patches to one of the XMPP projects in advance, as this gives us an idea of their general ability to interact with the projects and submit patches. These should only be an afternoon or two's work, and should not be onerous!

* '''Solve the XMPP quiz''': To be announced.
* '''Solve the XMPP quiz to the best extend you can''': Please include you answers in your application. Please also don't make your answers public so others don't start copy & pasting responses. The idea is not to have the perfect answers, but show that you took time to review the technology. If you don't understand certain details that is a good indicator to start a discussion about it within the community.

A list of teaser tasks is given in the [[#Project_Ideas|Project Ideas]] overview, but please join the chat rooms for the respective projects and discuss them there, where mentors will be able to help you and know what you're up to. There are different teasers for different codebases, and more teasers will be appearing here over the next few days.

== Student Proposal ==
== Student Proposal ==
Before you started with the proposal - please ensure you follow-ed the steps above!


In addition to writing a proposal, engagement with the actual projects before the application is very important. Showing motivation by taking interest in the project and communicating with the mentors is very advantageous. Solving a typical small problem can show that a student is serious with their plans.

''Brief explanation:'' When tapping onto an image in the chat, a storyboard based image viewer appears, showing that image in full screen. Implement a new SwiftUI based media viewer supporting animated gifs, other image types and videos. Allow to swipe through all received/sent media. Show a gallery of all received media leading to this image viewer when tapping a button in the contact details.
