Your proposal should be a continuation/improvement of the work to date, usually with an emphasis on “finishing” the work, adding production quality, improving usability, etc. This also means taking time to become familiarized with any existing code, actually installing, and testing things out. All prior GSoC projects are on our website: http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2014 http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2013 http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2012 http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2011 http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2009 http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2008 Those are also GREAT resources for seeing examples of other GSoC proposals we’ve accepted in the past, the level of detail we expect to see, and summaries for how those projects went. > I have recently completed Aerospace Engineering and I am student of > Electronic > Engineering right now, as hobby I have done web development and design, so I > know HTML, CSS, JavaScript and various web development technology such as > JQuery and AJAX, while I have basic knowledge of SQL, Python and PHP. I sent a message just yesterday that you might want to look up on the mailing list archives (on sourceforge). I gave an overview of our project priorities and mentioned a web application topic that might be of interest — implementing an interface for testing repository commit ranges. > I would know if those ideas would be very integrated in BRL-CAD wiki or the > plan is to keep them as stand alone websites? It’s good when projects integrate with existing infrastructure, but it’s even more important that projects get taken to completion so they can actually be put to use and remain maintainable by others. However this is accomplished is often secondary if the production quality is there. Cheers!
