Hi Claudio & Others, The idea here is that the interested Students from those who explicitly expressed interest on the GIRAPH-584 ticket e.g. Renato, Emre & Catalin respectively, will each contribute their own individual proposal to wiki page.
The content each prospetcive participant should provide should include evidence of research they have carried out regarding Nutch LinkRank and Giraph PageRank algorthithms, the code bases, scope of problem, possible difficulties they envisage the project may run in to, milestones which should be addressed within the project, etc. Justification behind me gathering this type of content upfront is three fold 1. It enables the Giraph PMC to see that the prospective students are serious about taking on the GSoC project 2. It enables creation of a base line for each students aim and objectives within the project scope. 3. It enables GSoC admins to make better decisions on who gets in and who doesn't based on the quality of the student application and the engagement from the community to the idea and proposal. I am trying to drive on with this (and would also encourage the prospective students to do the same) as I would like to make it clear that competition for GSoC is high. Places are limited for mentors as well as students. Slot allocations (AFAIK) are based purely on quality of application. I hope this clarifies a bit, if there are any general questions regarding this, then please voice them here. Otherwise I'll look forward to seeing some good proposals put forward to the Giraph wiki in due course :0) Thank you very much.
