Great! Those are certainly important improvements. > Do you have specific requirements for applying ? We don't have any specific requirements above and beyond the ones mentioned at http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/guidelines.html. > Does someone already pick these > tasks or similar ones ? Anything listed there (and more!) is fair game. The tasks aren't "picked" until you submit your application, we rank the applications in order of preference, and Google then assigns students to specific project tasks. So the available tasks will all be assigned at the same time. > Is that enough for applying ? I'm not sure what you mean by that; but GNU's proposal guidelines are at http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/guidelines.html. Application is made through Google's website at http://code.google.com/soc/2008/. Note that, the better idea you give us about how you plan to tackle the problem, the better an idea we'll have about how suitable a candidate you are; so please provide a fair amount of detail regarding what you plan to do. If you have any code that is representative of your experience, knowledge and/or style, please include that with your application as well. Good luck! - -- Micah J.
