(B> Hello,
(B>
(B> I posted this in the edevelop.org forums, and was told that this might
(B> be the more appropriate place for it.
(B>
(B> First of all let me say I am a huge fan and thanks for all your work!
(B> I've been using it for so long. The thing is, I feel I finally have
(B> the knowledge and skills to pay my debts to you guys.
(B>
(B> I don't know if the E team is aware of the Google's Summer of Code
(B> program. Essentially Google funds university students and Open Source
(B> Projects to contribute to the Open Source community during the summer.
(B>
(B> Students, like myself, can contribute to a list of projects (Gnome,
(B> Perl, Apache and others) however none of those sounded exciting to me.
(B> I want to participate in the program and I think it would be amazing
(B> if I can contribute something to E17 (I already have ideas storming
(B> through my head).
(B>
(B> This is why I wanted to ask if the E team would consider participating
(B> in the program?

(BOK -I've mailed chris to see if we can get in. I think this is a good idea. I'm
(Bwilling to formalise a list of things we need done (ie what code, how, etc.) and
(Bam willing to mentor - not just per the google guidelines but actually spend
(Bgood effort helping out regularly over summer. i hope nathan and dan would do
(Bthe same. we can likely get others to mentor too. as for projects i wont put on
(Ba list - come to us with ideas. what do you WANT to do. what makes your heart
(Bpump and blood rush? list a few things. we can likely find room/space. also note
(Bwe have fairly high code quality requirements. we would expect you to use gdb,
(Bvalgrind, memprof, gprof and more to profile your code for sped, ram usage,
(Bleaks and bugs. good testing etc. we can help with you learning these tools and
(Bhow they can help you make better code. this will help far into the future too
(Bonce you know these tools and are comfortable with them. the other thing we
(Bdefinitely can help with is design. you want to solve problem X. some of us have
(Bbeen solving 1000's of problem X, Y and Z's for years - even decades (i've been
(Bcoding for over 20 years myself from the first code i ever wrote for example).
(Bsome of the things you want to do may heavily benefit from input. i am happy to
(Bprovide some of that. the final decisions are up to you of course - it is your
(Bcode and your baby. you should have immense pride and personal attachment to
(Byour code. you should feel at the end it is something to be proud of and show
(Beveryone and go "i made that - and it's GOOD." and literally FEEL that with all
(Byour heart. but to make something GOOD takes work, effort and skill - and above
(Ball, time.
(B
(Bso... after my ramble. we're seeing if we can get in. if we can. i'll make a
(Blist of things - if they don't appeal, come up with other suggestions :)
