I like the amount of effort Agha Saad Fraz has been putting in to the issue tracker, by effort doesn’t directly equate to understanding and I had some concerns about some of his work, so I support your decision.
I think Maurício is settled on his choice, so I won't add much to that
discussion at this point.
For Saksham's general improvement project, I see four highly qualified
proposals:
* Mohit Kuri
* apoorvkhare07 (Apoorv Khare)
* Kartik Kathuria
* saurass (Saurabh Srivastava)
I think each of them have a strong proposal and liked how saurass
contributed extra comments and conversation in the Gitter channel.
However, he also seemed a bit overeager, as I said to Saksham we use
the phrase "biting off more than he can chew". Mohit also applied to
refactor Designer, which I have decided I have time for this summer,
so we can discount him as well.
The last two are both very close. Kartik seemed to go through and help
reproduce some issues, helping with report triage. I favored Apoorv's
proposal slightly.
Saksham had a great suggestion that we offer to hire the other
applicant for the summer. We can look in to that in the next few days
if this seems like the good choice going forward.
Any other input on this? In particular, Maurício, do you have any
preference between Kartik and Apoorv?
