You'll need to prepare a detailed proposal to apply for the Google Summer of Code, so I suggest you dig deeper into these projects and find out what would result in 1) a satisfying, rewarding summer for you 2) a significant enhancement to Evergreen. The ideas list is meant to be a starting point. > As I am a newbie in GSOC-2011, So I would really appreciate any kind of > advice, guidance and reference for further reading from mentors or > someone has got similar interest. http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2011/faqs is a really good place to start. http://www.booki.cc/gsocstudentguide/_v/1.0/what-is-google-summer-of-code/ has also been recommended a number of times in the #gsoc channel. For Evergreen in particular, we've started to tag some bugs in our bug database as 'bitesize' if we feel they're appropriate for someone new to the project; if you're really ambitious and want to show off some of your skills, you might want to tackle one of those. We've provided a VirtualBox image to try and help get you up and running quickly; this is also a good opportunity for you to determine whether Evergreen is the right project for you :) > And please tell me your IRC nick for further communication and discussion. The project ideas page does include the IRC nicks of the potential GSoC mentors, but there is also a wiki page that maps some of the common #evergreen IRC nicks to names at http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=community:irc_channel
