Seeking Direction for Upcoming Tor Contributions (Pre-GSoC)

Hi again everyone,

I wanted to give a small update on my contributions so far and make sure I’m moving in the right direction over the next few months.

Summary of recent work:
• One patch of mine was merged (applied from the discussion comments and credited in the changelog)
• One MR currently open
• Active in several forum discussions
• Regular presence on IRC (#tor-dev)

Before I plan my next set of contributions, I’d appreciate some guidance on the following:

  1. Are there particular areas or components where contributions would be especially helpful right now?

  2. Should I continue deepening work in the area I’ve already contributed to, or explore another subsystem?

  3. Are there any medium-sized issues or upcoming tasks that would benefit from early work before the GSoC period?

I’m not asking for proposal help yet — just want to make sure I’m contributing in ways that are actually useful to the project.

Thank you!
