Hello @Kanbanization, this task is meant for Outreachy internship, If you are an intern, you can surely go ahead.
@Shadabgdg, as this task is meant for Outreachy internship for Round 31, can you confirm if are you an Outreachy intern for this round?
@Bodhisattwa Thank you for clarifying. I wasn’t aware that this task was specifically meant for the Outreachy Round 31 internship. No, I’m not an Outreachy intern for this round.
No issue at all. If no one takes up the task during this round, please feel free to take up the task again.
Good afternoon @Bodhisattwa I am Osadebamwen Jeffery Ukponahiunsi by name, a current Outreachy intern for this cohort. I would love to make contributions to this project as it aligns with my skills and interest. I want to be assigned this feature.
