Those guidelines look great to me, especially the suggestion about the branch name including the Jira issue, which I have found very useful in all of my git-based projects. In the RDF/HDT case, and possibly in the GeoSPARQL case, the contributed code could be in the form of a new module, so there won't be much interference with the rest of the codebase during that time. However, it is still useful to regularly merge the "develop" branch into each of the branches to keep up to date and reduce the number of merge conflicts occurring near the end when the students will be rushing to complete the project. > Cheers, > > [1] https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/projects/list/google/gsoc2015 > [2] > https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/details/google/gsoc2015/junyuew/5668600916475904 > [3] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MARMOTTA-593 > [4] > https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/details/google/gsoc2015/fernandobac03/5707702298738688 > [5] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MARMOTTA-584 > [6] https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2015 > [7] > http://googlesummerofcode.blogspot.com/2007/04/so-what-is-this-community-bonding-all.html > [8] http://wiki.apache.org/marmotta/GSoC/Methodology > > -- > Sergio Fernández > Partner Technology Manager > Redlink GmbH > m: +43 6602747925 > e: [email protected] > w: http://redlink.co
