Well, it shouldn't be the student's first year writing code. Basically, they're committing to developing a feature *to completion* in 3 months. We're going to be evaluating proposals based on whether we think students can do that. References of some kind will be important, given that we'll only be accepting about 12% of proposals. So, some demonstration of the student's ability to code from either the open source world or previous coursework. I don't know, honestly, that we care very much about theoretical background, except where it relates directly to and cutting-edge concepts in you proposal. PostgreSQL-space is littered with half-completed academic projects; we're not seeking more of those. -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
