Discussion about the Google Summer of Code
Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is an annual, international, program that encourages college-aged students to participate in open source projects during the summer break between classes. Jenkins has been participating there since 2016.

Hello Jenkins Community,
I am Debadatta, a Computer Science student eager to contribute to the Jenkins project. With my expertise in Java backend technology and experience working with Jenkins, I am keen on contributing to the improvement of various backend tools and functionalities.
Here is my idea about Enhancing “Plugin Health Score” Scoring Abilities: The Plugin Health Score is a vital metric for evaluating the health and performance of Jenkins plugins. I aim to improve its scoring abilities by refining the criteria used for assessment and providing more accurate insights into plugin health. By focusing on these areas, I believe we can enhance the overall functionality and security of Jenkins, thereby benefiting the entire community. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to such a dynamic and impactful project.
Best regards,
Debadatta
