+\section{Proposed Tool: GitHub Actions}
+We propose researching GitHub Actions and comparing it with Jenkins, which
+will be introduced in class. GitHub Actions interests us because our group
+already uses GitHub to maintain source code and documentation. We want to
+understand how repository workflows can automate the build, testing, and
+deployment of our Dockerized website to AWS.
+
+Our comparison will consider setup effort, workflow configuration, and
+visibility into build and deployment results. A future demonstration could
+provide a manually triggered workflow that builds and deploys the application.
+For this proposal, no installation or implementation of the comparison tool
+is claimed. The current proof of concept is the manually deployed EC2 website.
+
+% Draft selection based on the earlier discussion: both authors should confirm
+% GitHub Actions versus Jenkins before submitting this chapter.
