Faq : https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/faq#how_much_time_does_gsoc_participation_take
What I want to know is 40 hours per week of work does not mean 40 hours of coding right ? Can it be documenting / designing architecture or debugging as well ? And what would happen if the student who worked 40hrs/week but still could not complete the project ? Also I and my mentors live in different time zone (India and Europe) so it might not be possible for me any my mentor to be online and work at same time so in such cases what steps are taken ? Thanks.
