[Sugar-devel] Introduction and review request of GSoC Proposal:

[Rudra Sadhu]

Thanks James, Carlos, Gonzalo and everyone for the insights

Your inputs helped a lot, and I've updated my proposal accordingly.
A lot of important stuff was added such as the working the Help Activity,
keeping check on the activity bundle sizes and completing the miscellaneous
section.

The proposal is available at https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/
go/Summer_of_Code/2018/attentive_migration_of_wiki_activity_pages_to_git
I've also shared the same via the GSoC dashboard
Please read, most importantly the 'About Project' section

Let me know of the stuff I should add/remove/update to better justify the
task.

also It would help, if someone volunteers to answer the impact of this
project required to be filled in as an answer in the 'Project and the
Community' section

Thanks
Rudra Sadhu
