GSoC 2025 - Looking for Beginner-Friendly PostgreSQL Project

Hello PostgreSQL Developers,  

My name is Kruti Popat, and I am an IT engineering student interested in contributing to PostgreSQL for GSoC 2025.  

I am comfortable with C, C++, and have a basic understanding of PostgreSQL. I am eager to explore database internals and open-source development. While I am new to PostgreSQL development, I am willing to learn and contribute effectively.  

Could you please suggest some beginner-friendly project ideas that align with my skills? Also, how can I make my first meaningful contribution to get started?  

Looking forward to your guidance.  

Thanks,  
Kruti Popat

Thanks
