So
Here is the week 1 update of my GSoC'26 project WINDMILL, For the 1st week I worked on the MVP PR of the project , it includes core contracts , tests and all,
if you want to know about the project in short , it is basically an crypto exchange platform but it differs in it's own bot configuration, in traditional exchange we have to manually find a match and if not found we have to change our ask manually ,
but in this project we will be have a keeper Bot which will find us our best match automatically.

more about the first PR of this project is it took a long time because a lots of discussion took place and some corrections too.
some of the correction I was advised and implemented too are,
1. Initially I was fetching market price using Oracle , but later my mentor suggested me that price should be as per users choice so we are not fetching any price using external oracle just assign the struct the price input by user.
2.One more advice by my mentor was: why custom reentrancy guard is used?
Oppenzeplin offers some default guards ,you may use them.
Now ,One more thing from past month my DM are filled with a lots of messages asking about how to start for GSoC'27,
so I would really advice you not to be hyperactive in open source contribution, to target Gsoc'27 , starting from the 1st or 2nd week of December is more than enough I know this is not digestable but observe me,
meanwhile do focus on DSA and SQL these the only factors with highest weightage in off campus placements,
very soon I would be writing a Medium post, which will help you in quite clear way, not to be pretending Gsoc as Rocket science or world cup, it is very easy and you will surely regret why you not had contributed for GSoC'26.
One more thing for the first or 2nd year students, just close your eyes and focus on DSA , don't ever jump into the development for these 2 years, see I created my Github 3 months before my 3rd year, so I can reach here you can too, it's not an advice to not start development but don't give it full time, in my opinion development is just simulation not creation of new things but DSA is.
