I've been looking over some of the GSoC proposals and I've noticed
that most aren't very detailed. It seems most of the students have
only a very rough idea of what they want to do and plan on filling
in the details at the beginning of the project. I don't have
experience with GSoC and I'm trying to understand whether this is a
problem or is what's expected. How detailed are the proposals
supposed to be?
I don't have experience with GSoC either, but I fear that the very
simple "I would like to work on X" proposal will have to be discarded.
As andrei said the students have to convince us that they can do the
project, and this means:
- good project
- knowledge of the field
- knowledge of the tools (D)
- skills
- motivation
Obviously projects don't have to be perfect, this is *before* doing
it, but just saying "I would like to work on X" is not going to cut it.
