The first two weeks of my Google Summer of Code (GSoC) journey with GNOME Papers have been both exciting and productive. I had the opportunity to meet my mentors, discuss the project goals, and dive into my first major task: improving the way document mutex locks are handled in the codebase.

🤝 Mentor Meeting & Planning

We kicked off with a meeting to get to know each other and to discuss the open Merge Request 499 . The MR focuses on moving document mutex locks from the libview /shell layer down to the individual backends (DjVu, PDF, TIFF, Comics). We also outlined the remaining work and clarified how to approach it for the best results.
