Burke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Gustaf Neumann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Regarding Google Summer of Code Tcl application in 2008 it is essential if we will act as an umbrella project for other Tcl-related open-source projects ... or not. So I've decided to contact some leaders of those projects directly by this e-mail. If your projects has to be included in Tcl GSoC 2008 application please link to your project homepage and leave some comments at http://wiki.tcl.tk/20836 (Tcl Application for Google Summer of Code 2008). You should also add some project ideas at http://wiki.tcl.tk/20832 (Project Ideas for Google Summer of Code 2008) and preferably put a copy also at your project website and link to it. Mentors from your organizations should create gmail.com accounts and send them to Matthew Burke. Matthew M. Burke (Tcl GSoC2008 planned administrator/coordinator) is going to submit text of application from the Tcl wiki somewhere from midnight and 1 am at UTC-5, Eastern US so there is no much time left. We don't want to be excluded by waiting until the Google deadline (12 noon PDT/19:00 UTC). My idea of umbrella project comes from last year Python community successful experiences described below (Tcl failed to be accepted in 2007). I would like to know from interested project leaders if we could/should shape Tcl GSoC2008 effort this way ... or leave it the way it is now where only Tcl core is mentioned. Tomasz Kosiak (--tkosiak) === BEGIN == Python Community was very successful last year (see - http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2007). This year they just started, be we could learn from them (http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode). What I like about their application/proposal is: 1. Mentor list - http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/Mentors 2. Links to other projects sites where there is discussion about Summer of Code 3. Explicit expectation & advise for students (which we could copy with linking to the source) 4. Link to previous attempts (despite that our application failed last year - be we could show our improvement to Google). 5. Links to Google Summer of Code site - to the most important documents like Google's Advice for Students, Google's Advice for Mentors, FAQ, etc. - so to reuse the hard work done by Google in explaining details 6. Special mailing lists for mentors & students - we could do that with Google Groups especially because every mentor is required to have Google Account. I belive that we should set lists which could be reused in the following years unlike Python. Regards Tomasz Kosiak === END === On Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 6:06 PM, Matthew M.
