Re: GSoC Project Idea: WPA2 support for the debian installer
Hi Max Thanks for your application. Don't forget to also apply on the GSOC site as soon as student applications open.

Does the project schedule look realistic to you? Looking in the BUG-Tracker I have found #636211, which looks like a nice thing to get started working with the code. As for the other parts I think I it would be better if I concentrate on netcfg and work through the whishlist-bugs. Yes #636211 looks like a nice small bug to get started. Your schedule while still a bit course grained looks realistic. You probably could make it a bit finer grained by including phases for things like getting to know the installer environment, documentation updates, ... How much experience do you have with debian packaging? All the installer components are basically small debian packages so you definitely have to learn a bit about packaging. I suggest the new maintainer guide as a starting point.

In #661938 i also successfully installed with WPA2.
