Hey @Sammeeey
Me neither 
— I did philosophy… I don’t mean to put you off with the CS mention — more that most GSoC applicants are doing CS… The real measure there is whether you’re coding skills are there, and beyond that your problem solving skill — which are not at all limited by study area.
You’re already coding, so maybe… — only you can say.
Happy to consult on your ticket. If you wanted to dig in and see about enabling the cached template loader in development, that would be a good change. (It’s on my hit list.)
If you were able to do that, and you had the time to commit to GSoC, I don’t see why you couldn’t take on a project: most problems need time/love/energy/thought but they’re not often hard to the point of being intractable. The reason most issues aren’t resolved is lack of time. (And yes, some are genuinely difficult.)
HTH
Kind Regards,
Carlton
