-A: For Oppia Web, Angular 2+, Python 3.9 and Google App Engine are useful and recommended for most Oppia work; in addition, UI design skills are useful for frontend, user-facing work. Please see the individual project ideas to determine whether these skills are recommended for the project in question. Note that, although GSoC is aimed at beginner contributors to open source and at students, "beginner to open source" is not the same as "beginner to coding" -- the projects assume some proficiency with coding.

    Then run `direnv allow` in the `opensource/` directory to allow `direnv` to run there. Whenever you are within the `opensource/` directory (or any of its subdirectories, or any of their subdirectories, etc.) the virtual environment will be active. You can confirm this by running:
