As reference, have a look at FFmpegs proposals: http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=FFmpeg_Summer_Of_Code_2008 What is really important are the qualification tasks. The first time FFmpeg participated didnt had qualification tasks and it was a nearly complete desaster. I think from the 8 projects only 2 were half way done. The others had nothing to present. 2007, which had for the first time the qualification tasks, was a lot better, iirc all projects reached the primary goal and quite a few the secondary too. Though none of them are yet in the FFmpeg svn repo. > Final question though, we need someone to be the organisation contact > with Google ( The one writing up application, organising mentors and > such ).
