All, Several DSpace Committers contacted me to let me know they really want to take part in the Google Code-In. So, I've officially put in an application for DuraSpace -- hopefully we'll get accepted!
I've also put up a stub of a page on the GSoC Wiki. We should all start to write up possible GCI tasks on the DSpace Wiki, and link them up to our GCI homepage at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/GSOC/Google+Code-In+2010-11 Tasks must be up and posted by November 22. But, we probably should get at least a few posted ASAP, as I imagine it will help our application :) - Tim On 10/29/2010 9:18 AM, Tim Donohue wrote: > All, > > Try to send in your thoughts on participating in "Google Code-In" ASAP > -- if we wanted, we can participate.
