Re: [GSoC 2014] Questions regarding Android and HTML5 features

 

Hi Germine,

Sharing requirements and user-interface mockups will be helpful to work in
teams.
If your work is going to be open-source, any GSoC student can work with
your codebase.
The rule for GSoC is that the student should be doing independent work,
such that the student's code can be verified to be their own.

The GSoC roadmap is 3-months and if you are looking to start implementation
in 2 weeks, it will be difficult to expect that from GSoC work.
The GSoC student will be able to use your work and build better solutions
based on your feedback.
This is our goal with student participation, such that they become better
community players.
You may also ask your 2 students to apply to the GSoC programme. We cant
guarantee slots, as we expect it to be highly competitive.

You may want to create blueprints in launchpad for a unit of work related
to the project.
 If you already have a project tracker (like github, JIRA etc.), we can
also use that.
