Sorry to tell you, that you as a user out of the community (why are you using the 'we think' angle all the time as if you were a core dev, btw?) have not seen all the stuff we talked about. To sum the stuff about scholarship up in some short and pregnant words: *THIS IS NOT ABOUT FAIRNESS FOR EVERYONE IN THE INTERNET!!!* If the stuff was just about fairness we would establish some fixed process, announce it openly around the net making sure that it appears on IT sites and all the likes to attract as much attention from computer people as possible. We do not want to invite people that just want to do mercenary work. What we do want is to show people that it is fun spending time with open source work. In general we do also have to be careful regarding the amount of attraction we reach for projects like this since someone has to handle the new people joining and review project proposals. In general you are mixing some things regarding our "Summer Scholarship". Basically we got two different angles that we do consider to in parallel: 1) There is this grant thing. It is meant for "proven developers", people we trust. This is not limited to C++ coding but it does also cover stuff like creating artwork, creating content (WML) in "no idea which" area and all the likes. 2) There is a possible scholarship explicitly meant to attract "outside persons" which we plan to completely restrict to women. Do you see the difference? Yes, those are two basically different aspects. The only thing that is identical is that "Wesnoth Inc" does pay people.
