Hi Shashank, Thanks for writing to us. I think the project idea listed in the ideas page has a description of the prerequisites: ... This project would require an understanding and awareness of the defining characteristics of a font, an understanding of the OpenType specification and, preferably, an understanding of mobile and web platforms. Additionally, this would require familiarity with at least one Indian language script in order to implement a prototype and demonstrate feasibility of the implementation. ... Further from the website: The application template which you will be provided will have the following points: - self introduction (courses attending etc) - what is the scope of the proposal? (especially what is outside the scope) - familiarity with the tools, infrastructure and concepts of the project? - how many hours per work will you be able to commit to your project? - do you want to inform the project about any other commitments you have? - how will you adjust to a mentor who will be virtually present? - are you comfortable in English? Also, request you to subscribe to the project-ideas list (marked in cc) so that other mentors can also look at your proposal Regards, -- Bhavani Shankar Ubuntu Developer | www.ubuntu.com https://launchpad.net/~bhavi _______________________________________________ Project-ideas mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ankur.org.in/listinfo.cgi/project-ideas-ankur.org.in
