Hey Ebo, Your email to the Plan9 GsoC list reminded me that your previous email is yet to be answered :P Sorry about not responding... I was hoping Anant Narayanan, our project lead, would take this thread up..

You never know what might happen next year. Its too early to be talking about GSoC. However, all you need for being eligible is to be a student. Its fine if you started working on the project already a few months ahead, when you apply as a student through GSoC. So feel free to start hacking on the project right away. We apologize for the low activity on this project the last few months, but both Anant and I have been busy with grad school... > As a note, I have roughly 30 years of programming experience from > twiddling bits on real-time hardware to scientific visualization and > modeling.

I did not really comprehend much of what you said there. I know what I want to do with this project, and I am doing what I can minus any 30 years of programming experience. Heck, I am not ever near as old! I would love for you to join us, and if you can break down your questions into more simple packets and make em specific, I would love to answer them. We could really use someone who likes to code. > The question I have is what can I do to help make it easier > to setup, run, and develop applications. > http://www.glendix.org/docs/quickstart That should be all you need.
