Hey Sean,
thanks for the list that you provided me with. I would like to ask this,
though.
I have shortlisted 3 projects out of the whole wide range of the projects
available on the Ideas page link for BRL-CAD found on the GSoC list of
organisations 2013 page.
i would like to know whether I can start working on the proposals straight
away, or do I need to prove my worth beforehand by doing the patching. This
i asked because I am very keen on these three projects that I chose, but at
the same time, I am in the development phase for getting myself familiar
with the technologies.
I also would like to ask if not being "ready enough" at this point of time
acts against me. beacuse the part on NURBS, that I got, and the other
projects that i am interested in are the code refractoring and the solar
system simulation, about both of which I have some ideas and would like to
proceed with keen interest.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Sabhya Kaushal
