in theory this is ok. But I'm not sure if that's enough for a GSoC application. I'd say you have to play with cartoCSS and try at least some basic modifications, so you can show what you've done and reached. I guess that would be expected for a good rank (i.e. that you'll be chosen as a student). However, I'm not the idea's proposer. > Any feedback on what work I could do to help for the project or > general advice would be greatly appreciated! I think the least is to have a look at the issue tracker and pick tasks you find interesting or that you feel comfortable with. You'd probably need that for a good application anyway: What issues do you plan to work on, what's the timeline, how do you plan to work on them,... So first step imho: Check the issue tracker :) If you have more specific questions you might also try to ask on IRC (#osm-dev in oftc) for help. Paul Norman (the idea proposer and active commiter for Carto) tends to be there, too. Hope that helps, Peda _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
