I don't think so.. when I mean msnp13 i mean full msnp13, and that is one huge ass job if you ask me (yes it includes shared folders). It also includes essentially rewriting the whole protocol handling, getting a more unified way of handling messages (like file tranfer, DP transfer, etc.)

Students can apply to proposals, not to projects if i understand correctly, that is why we need to have proposals. Also there aren't many sponsors for the project so not a lot of students can participate, I think we should be glad if we got one. Anyway we can still keep proposals if they don't get done. Throughout the year we can remove/add others and next year we will apply to both google's SoC and this one again, etc :P > > KKRT > > On Thu, 01 Jun 2006 07:49:57 -0400, Sander Hoentjen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > http://amsn.sourceforge.net/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=SummerOfCode > > here i listed 2 proposals already, should we add more? > > also i got this question: "I was wondering if porting amsn to python to > > create a kind of libamsn(2) would be accepted as a project" > > What are your ideas about that?
