Question regarding GSoC 2026

Hello all, I am interested in several ideas from the ideas list. Can I submit proposals for multiple ideas, and if yes, can I submit them in one proposal or do i need to make multiple? Thank you

Hello, yes you can have multiple proposal, and they should all be in separate posts

Ok, but for the final GSoC proposal submission, does it need to be different submissions or just one submission?

It should be different ones

Ok, thank you.

Hi @shikuz, @HahaBill, and @malekhavasi,

I'm Divya, applying for Idea 4: Chat with your note collection using AI. I've been working through the proposal and have a couple of design questions I'd love your input on before I finalise.

Chunking strategy: For Joplin's note format which tends to be short, informal, and mixed-content I'm leaning toward sentence-level chunking with a semantic merge step (grouping sentences within the same semantic unit) rather than fixed-size chunking. Has anyone explored this in the context of Joplin notes or is there a preferred approach the mentors have in mind?

Embedding model:I'm evaluating all-MiniLM-L6-v2 (fast, local, 80MB) as the default with nomic-embed-text as the Ollama alternative. Given that Joplin already supports local model execution, does the team have a preference for keeping the embedding stack consistent with the existing AI plugin patterns?Happy to discuss further as these decisions will shape the core architecture,so I want to get them right early.

Thanks!
