Hi Russell,

Thanks for the response.
Clearly I don't have enough time to prove my eligibility to pull it off. 
Guess I will hang around here outside GSoC and look forward to contributing 
till the extent of my capabilities :).

Regards,
Nimesh Ghelani

Re: please help

[nimesh ghelani]

Hi,
I am also interested in Django as organization for GSoC. I did few basic 
projects using Django and now as a final test, i am putting my all in for 
my hardcode 13 submission. After that, i believe i will have a month and a 
half before GSoC is announced. Can you guide me on how to make the most of 
that time? As of now my approach will be as suggested in the website, going 
through tickets, observing the patches and trying to contribute in any way 
i can.
