I also discussed it with Noy and already told him I'm also in favour to try this. The motivation to do this is like one of the motivations behind the GSoC project; allow students to work on their project in the summer instead of doing a dull summer job, which doesn't learn them a thing but only provides them with money. > This transfers some of the onus from the student to the mentor, as > the latter would need to identify the development path of the > student.

IMO the student should not only identify a development path, but also come up with a proposal. This proposal can then be discussed with the mentor(s) and turned into a final proposal. -- Regards, Mark de Wever aka Mordante/SkeletonCrew _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
