Hi :wave: I am Andrew Doghry a college student from Egypt with knowledge in c++ oop and some scripting languages like bash , python and js . Lately I have been interested in Swift and started learning it and doing some simple stuff . I saw that swift organization have been included in gsoc this year also congrats . I am interested in the project (Scripting in Swift) and improving user experience with it by improving swift package manager and how it manages dependencies in case of scripting .
Can anyone help.me to get started to participate in that

Hi there, the mentor for this project is @NeoNacho so he can share some ideas here.

In general it might be worth reading the previous pitch that was linked in the project idea [Pitch] SwiftPM support for Swift scripts (revision) and also discussing with @stevapple who worked on that on how to take it through the next steps.
