Hi Quim,
Being a first-time GSoCer, I have a question about this - "We recommend all
candidates to apply soon and be ready to improve your project proposals
fast based on feedback received." - do you mean that I should post the
project proposal in this list -> discuss -> receive feedback -> modify ->
reiterate -> apply through google?
OR, should I apply through google with the project proposals -> receive
feedback -> modify -> reiterate?
Good question.
Your evaluation will be done based on your GSoC application. Apply to
the GSoC website as soon as you have the basics of you project right.
This will get you officially under our radar. Note that you can edit
your submitted application until the deadline.
The GSoC mentors and myself as org admin will do our best helping you
polishing your proposal. However, the real deal is to get community
interest, feedback and help. This is why we also ask candidates to share
your plans in a wiki page linked from a Bugzilla report and a post in
Wikitech-l.
After this there should be only two channels of discussion:
1. Details about your skills, availability etc are discussed directly
with you via email.
2. Technical discussion happens in the related Bugzilla report.
I hope you get what I mean and would really appreciate
the clarification.
Sorry if it's too obvious. :)
Not obvious at all. Thank you for asking.
