Hey Dan! I looked into the article and found it to be quite helpful. I would like to ask some questions, though.
As for the prospective project that I have in mind, would it be okay if I submit my proposal right away, and as I am building it, ask for assistance anytime I require? because frankly speaking, people submitting so many ideas into the mailing list, at times so many at the same time, makes me wonder whether I am going in the correct direction or not. I am very keen on being a part of this project but at the same time, also skeptical whether this "not-putting-forth-the-ideas" diminishes the chances somehow. I am in the process of familiarizing myself with all the technology, and thought that it would be worth if I started working on the proposal straight away. regards, Sabhya Kaushal On 10 April 2013 12:49, Dan Haywood <d...@haywood-associates.co.uk> wrote: > Hi Sabhya, > Yes, you are now on the list. > > Thanks for your quick resume; it does sounds to me that you are qualified. > > This is the first year that Isis is taking part in the GSOC programme, so > I'm learning as I go as to what our responsibilities (as mentors) are. > I've just signed up to the google-melange site [1] and registered as a > mentor, if you haven't already I think you need to also. > > Regarding prepping for the project, I coincidentally noticed an InfoQ > article [2] plugging a new book.
