I think they want to see more polish on the app. I had a brief conversation with the administrator of GSoC, Leslie Hawthorn:
http://puredata.info/dev/summer-of-code/GoogleSummerOfCodeIdeas/ lh: _hc: you made our short list and i have heard good things about you. your ideas could have been fleshed out a lot more though lh: _hc: many ideas did not have any supporting write ups at al. lh: all even _hc: lh: yeah, it we should have put more work into it, but you think the project fits in well with GSoC? lh: _hc: absolutely, we just need more meat from you next time. _hc: lh: yeah, we are pretty chaotic, it was an open wiki, so people just added from the list discussions _hc: lh: is it best then to only have polished ideas on that page? lh: _hc: yes, or indicate that some are not well polished Now that this whole thing is up on puredata.info, it will be much easier to improve upon the application, rather than starting from scratch again. .hc On Mar 17, 2008, at 7:30 PM, Andy Farnell wrote: > > Maybe it's a pecking order thing.
