By encouraging such "PLUSes" you guys are NOT encouraging new entrants but rather encouraging the already contributing members to earn a quick buck. I know its great to have people contribute and when money is involved it becomes even better. But by adding such PLUSes to your "requirements" applicants who are willing to learn BUT dont have experience are thrown out and downright discouraged. This is not the point of GSoC and the whole reason it was started for. Don't take this personally. This has been my observation one times too many and had to share it with everyone! -- Regards, Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
