Dear OpenAFS Mentors,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Tejas, and I am a MERN stack
developer with experience in JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and Java. I
have a keen interest in system-level development and am enthusiastic about
contributing to the "Develop a GNOME Shell Extension for OpenAFS" project
for GSoC 2025.

To ensure that my proposal aligns with the project's objectives and adheres
to best practices, I would appreciate your guidance on the following:

   1.

   *OpenAFS Client Management:*
   - Are there specific OpenAFS client operations or configurations that
      users frequently manage and would benefit from being included in
the GNOME
      Shell extension?
   2.

   *Security Considerations:*
   - Beyond authentication, are there other security aspects or potential
      vulnerabilities we should be mindful of when developing the extension?
   3.

   *User Experience (UX) Design:*
   - Are there any particular UX design principles or features that you
      believe would enhance the usability of the extension for OpenAFS users?
   4.

   *Testing and Compatibility:*
   - Are there recommended strategies or tools for testing the extension
      across different Linux distributions and GNOME versions to ensure broad
      compatibility?
   5.

   *Community Engagement:*
   - How can I best engage with the OpenAFS community during the
      development process to gather feedback and ensure the extension
meets user
      needs?
   6.

   *Documentation and Resources:*
   - Are there specific OpenAFS documentation, APIs, or community resources
      you recommend I review to gain a deeper understanding of the client
      operations and integration points relevant to this project?

I am committed to developing a tool that enhances the OpenAFS user
experience within the GNOME environment and aligns with the community's
needs. Your insights and recommendations will be invaluable in shaping a
robust project proposal.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,

Tejas
