Welcome Siddarth, I put together the ideas for Discovery Related GSoC activities. Though I hope we will have other mentors involved as well.
This is certainly a valid project to apply for. I would post questions about initial validity of project ideas for GSoC here in the dspace community if you are concerned about its application to DSpace. But focus on producing your application in the GSoC site and working on the detail there so that you have a fair opportunity to present your project without others borrowing your ideas. The process for applying for GSoC via the Application gives the student and the mentor pool an opportunity to discuss each application independently and privately prior to the selection of students for the year by the mentors and Google. http://socghop.appspot.com/ I would recommend the following: 1.) Work on your initial application privately in preparation for the start date for submitting applications. We know you have presented this idea here initially and will consider that in the evaluation process. Once in the application process, you may receive requests for clarification and recommendations for your project. 2.) Be very thorough about describing your abilities/background in that application, we want to see your technical ability. As such, this year we are also requesting code examples from projects you have worked on in the past. 3.) Outline, to the best of your ability project requirements, strategy for solution and a tentative timeline with milestones and target deliverables. Best of luck and we look forward to seeing your application. Cheers, Mark p.s. this year we are running a new email list for GSoC projects. Please feel free to join that list to discuss GSoC projects with us. https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-gsoc-student On Sun, Mar 21, 2010 at 12:08 AM, Siddharth Prakash Singh <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > I am Siddharth, a senior undergrad student of computer science major. > I want to contribute to dspace as GSoC student.
