Dear Priya, Thank you for your email! It’s great to hear that you have experience with sentiment analysis using BERT and VADER, as well as working with the Spotify Web API—those are highly relevant to the project. Yes, the next step would be to start drafting your *proposal*. Feel free to share a draft once you have a structured outline or an initial version ready. In terms of *expectations*, here are a few things to keep in mind for your proposal: - Clearly define the *problem statement* and how your approach aligns with the project goals. - Outline the *technical stack* and key components you plan to develop. - Provide a *timeline* with milestones to ensure feasibility within the GSoC period. - Highlight any *potential challenges* and how you plan to address them. - If possible, consider creating a *small proof of concept (PoC)* or demonstrating past relevant work to strengthen your proposal. Looking forward to reviewing your draft! Let me know if you have any questions along the way.
