To get more visibility and community input for the scope of GSOC projects, let me propose the following workflow.
1. A keyword is chosen for each project --------------------------------------- * model validation: model-validation (already existing) * multiple database support: multi-db * admin UI refactor: admin-refactor * HTTP and WSGI improvements: http-refactor * testing improvements: test-refactor * i18n improvements: i18n-refactor All tags should perhaps be prefixed with gsoc09 for clarity, e.g. gsoc09-model-validation. 2. Tickets are tagged with that keyword in trac ----------------------------------------------- This is mainly to gather community input. Both the GSOC students and community members tag tickets with the relevant keyword to propose them for the GSOC project. Community members should hold themselves back, carefully considering if the task is appropriate and in scope for the project before doing so. As a result, we get nice reports in trac that everybody can refer to and review. 3. Mentors and students review the tickets and finalize the scope of work ------------------------------------------ Mentors and students review the community proposals and remove tickets that are not in scope for the project. The gsoc09-* tag is removed from those tickets. It would be most pleasant if each project gets a wiki page structured like http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/Version1.1Features and http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/Version1.1Roadmap that describes the work and schedule. Also, a link to the ticket set report can be provided there. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
