Hi Parth, Yes, something along those lines will be right.
First-off, what are the existing work-arounds (i.e. how are people handling this in the wild: overriding `__init__()` methods etc...) — can these be summarised and documented, where worth recommending? Then, API changes to improve on that situation, like passing in request objects. (From experience with DRF and django-filter, making the request available solves **most** issues for **most** users — "But I need X! — But that's just `request.X`" 9 times out of 10.) THEN, look at open accepted issues on Forms <https://code.djangoproject.com/query?status=assigned&status=new&component=Forms&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=owner&col=type&col=component&col=version&desc=1&order=id>. There are ≈70. Begin with FormSets issues, then spread out. Which are related? (#10403?) Which can you target? You don't have to solve them all (!) but a good goal for a 12 week project would be to become a total expert on django.forms, and to have handled a number of issues as part of that. HTH.
