Here's my idea: Can we please not make things like "Develop a Simple, Stand-Alone Editor for New Users" part of the GSOC list. I've seen numerous failed and dead-on-arrival GSOC projects with various projects that usually turned out that way because inexperienced students were being handed projects that were too ambitious and even if they were finished saw decay because nobody else was interested in maintaining them. I think it would be most useful to have students contribute to existing projects that need help such as JOSM, Potlatch, the rails port or something similar. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
