I think the questions to see if you are eligible are: - Are you able to write a program in C (with threading) ? - Are you familiar with Python ? - Do you enjoy programming ? The program is more about coding, we dont expect the packaging will take 3 months, so if you are capable to program in C and Python you are eligible, and of course you must to be sure that is something that you enjoy. Feel free to send us more questions... best, -- Eduardo Silva http://edsiper.linuxchile.cl http://www.monkey-project.com
