Hello Sascha, Do you have a link to the successful proposals so we may look them over and learn from them? Thanks. Caryl

Sugar is a good fit for GSoC, but our proposals were not. Google significantly raises the bar for organisations that have participated in GSoC before - or put differently, they give "newcomers" a certain amount of slack. There are loads of organisations that try to participate in GSoC, so as Kevin phrased it: The competition is stiff. Take a look at the projects the other organisations proposed to students. They were in a much better shape. More detailed and easy to understand descriptions, better fit to the scope of GSoC (i.e. less ambitious!), designated mentors for each proposal, diversity of topics, etc. Sascha -- http://sascha.silbe.org/ http://www.infra-silbe.de/ _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
