Hi Nicholas, I agree that there's a lot of overlap between your proposal and django-floppyforms -- but I still think there's some scope for a very interesting GSoC project. There may be only 2 days left, but that's still time for a couple more revisions before the deadline. I'll leave some

Yes indeed! I heard about it around the April 27. With a few more days left, I might have been able to review my proposal, but I will simply concentrate on finding work this summer. I* *would still love to have my proposal chosen, but I cannot put all of my eggs in that basket. On Wed, May 1,

It seems that I have underestimated the barrier of entry to the Google Summer of Code. With so many hoops to jump through and very little time left, I will not play against the odds. I still look forward to contributing to Django, but not as a GSoC student. On Wed, May 1, 2013 at 2:04 PM, Carl

Reading the description of django-floppyforms, I realize most of these features are overlapping with those in my proposal. What do you think would be advisable from that point? On Wed, May 1, 2013 at 1:11 PM, Carl Meyer wrote: > On 05/01/2013 11:04 AM, Carl Meyer wrote: > > I

I have done as suggested and submitted my proposal in the mailing list. I heard about the Google Summer of Code *very* recently, but hopefully I'll be able to submit an accurate and sensible proposal on time! Coincidentally, I am also proposing changes to the Forms API, and I must say it is

Hi everyone, It's great to see all the GSOC proposals on the list and the feedback being useful, but I feel I should remind you all that the deadline is this Friday, May 3rd, at 7pm UTC (so 11am if you're on the west coast of the US, for example). Melange, the GSOC software, can be a little hard
