It sounds like you are signed up in digest mode. Use the link at the bottom of this email to turn it off. > I was initially attracted by the well organized introduction of ideas > page.

Yep, that's exactly right. The first couple of things are the tickets listed in the stepconf proposal: http://brlcad.org/w/index.php?title=Google_Summer_of_Code/Project_Ideas#LinuxCNC_Projects There are plenty of other things to do after those. > My question is how detailed should I write my project > description now.Since I only have some basic sense about the program and > structure of the gui, how deep should I dig into the source code before > writing my project description for my current proposal? The more detail you add, the easier it will be to evaluate your proposal. Include everything you know about, and ask for specific help with the things you're unsure of. > Also, since this is first time of my partcipation to the GSOC and I > really don't know how much time it tooks to finish each ticket.

We'll find other things for the second coding period, let me know if there's something you're especially interested in (you can look at our feature-request list and bug tracker for suggestions). -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
