### Focus areas
|

|

For 2022, we are particularly interested in GSoC contributors who have
|
||||
strong skills at visual design, HTML/CSS, mobile development,

performance optimization, or Electron. So if you're an applicant with

those skills and are looking for an organization to join, we'd love to

As a data point, in Summer 2017, we had 4 students working on the
|
||||
React Native mobile app (1 focused primarily on visual design), 1 on
|

the Electron desktop app, 2 on bots/integrations, 1 on web app visual

design, 2 on our development tooling and automated testing

infrastructure, and the remaining 4 on various other parts of the

backend and core web app.

### Project size
|
||||
|
||||
GSoC offers two project size options: 175 hours and 350 hours. We have designed
|
||||
all our projects to have incremental milestones that can be completed throughout
|
||||
the summer. Consequently, all Zulip projects described below are compatible with
|
||||
either project size. Of course, the amount of progress you will be expected to
|
||||
make depends on whether you are doing a 175-hour or 350-hour project.
