I took a look at the draft... About Myself: You gave a small overview of what you did + what your experiences are so far, good. Focusing on C++/OpenGL and mentioning the scripting languages only in passing is tactically clever, too ;) Mostly a nit, but: check capitalization. E.g. it's C++, not c++, Python, not python ... content-wise that's no difference, but it's kind of a "good impression" thing (correct capitalization would go really well together with your English skills ;) Implementation details: This currently focuses on the algorithm itself. Giving a short overview is good since it shows you actually looked at what you want to implement ;) However, ideally you would also give some CrystalSpace-related details - like, "adding this to subsystem that". I know that, the more detailed you try to be, the closer you get to actually implement everything... of course that should happen only later ;) However, I believe if you try to get slightly under the surface of CS, you can get a better idea of what needs to be done, give better estimates and improve your image of proficiency - all at the same time! Timeline: Could you give dates? It's mostly b/c I'm to lazy to do the math and compute early June + X weeks and such ;p Naming some CS-specific "implementation details" would also be nice - that can make it easier to judge how well the estimations fit. Generally: You estimate you'll be quicker than your proposed timeline, other GSoC mentors say - backed by experience with other students as well as probably personal experience - that you'll most likely be slower. Who is right? We don't know yet. But try to have a contingency plan for the case you lag behind on your original plan. Choose what features/results you want to prioritize. For example, a special demo seems rather unimportant as SSAO should work just dropped into any CS app. -f.r.
