I thought that they were really important, so that was why I was thinking about doing more contributions up to November. I still would like to be a contributor even the outcome of Outreachy, as I mentioned, but if I can apply to Outreachy the better. > > > Sorry for the typos.

Oh, thanks :) I was not mentioning anything there because I did not want to become an intruder or something like that. But I have some suggestions. Maybe I could mention them there. As a user who watches tutorials and as a person who at least suggested doing video tutorials, even though in that case my proposals were going probably to end up in YouTube or something like that. > > > Shall we discuss together how to set the timeline? > > Yes, that would be nice. > > > Shall I propose it? > > I would like you to come up with an initial proposal, and then iterate on > that. Ok, I have the initial Outreachy project next to me. I will take a look at everything there, and write down a proposal, during the following days, WDYT? > > > Do I need to know the editing tools before starting the internship if > > I am chosen? > > I don't think that is necessary, and at the current state of discussion I > would > not like to force any tools.

I was asking this because I see the community is concerned about the freedom, so maybe I come up with a tool and it is not GPL, maybe it has another license and I don't check that very well, and I do not want to have kind of trouble, but I could add in the timeline time to learn tools that I do not know. I use FOSS in general, so that I do not make a mistake with a tool. For instance, i knew some LaTeX instead of Texinfo, so I was reading about it. > > > > > > > > > > -- > > > Ricardo > > > > > Regards! > > Laura > > Best regards, > g_bor Regards! Laura
