I've already 'mastered' mercurial, so I don't think git would give me
too many problems. I was under the impression that it required knowing
your way around the codebase, but I'm glad that's not the case. The
time-issues still remain, although I might be able to solve those too
before the end of this month.
As a fellow dutchman, I can report, GSoC's schedule is horrible for us.
You are expected to start initial work in may-june and while that is
somewhat possible, real work is supposed to start in june-july. You are
expected to work upto 40 hours per week on your project. However
june-july is when most universities have their end term examinations.
Those require easily 60+ hours per week to finish/study for. GSoC
basically expects you to spend around 100 Hours in 2 1/2 months on your
project starting from may. Be very weary of this when a lotting your time.
That would be good, please [..] each case.)
The broken links I encountered were external links, so I don't think
it can be fixed permanently. All links under 'AMD' on this page[1] are
broken for example. It can be fixed by replacing 'Processor' with
'Embedded', but I don't think there is a permanent solution for this
case. I don't remember the other broken links I encountered, but I
will fix them as soon as I do.

Will do, thanks!

I don't think I really qualify yet:
Prior to project acceptance, you have demonstrated that you can
work with the coreboot codebase.
This is a best-case, not a worst-case, requirement.
This merely means that you must be able to use git and push commits
into Gerrit and have written useful commit messages and not have
millions of unrelated whitespace changes in a coherent
single-logical-change-in-every-commit manner.
But both issues are hopefully resolved in 2014.
The above takes minutes to master, not years.
PS: I've discovered a few broken links throughout the Coreboot wiki.
Maybe I can start participating by fixing them? :-)
That would be good, please email Stefan Reinauer to get an account,
but first, what are the links and more importantly why have they
broken? I would like it if we can somehoew move away from links that
may break again in the future, and reference what should be
essentially same information in a different more reliable way.
(Sometimes this isn't possible, and we have to live with broken
links, but it needs to be looked at for each case.)
