It's good that you have an interest to do a FOSS project in your final year. Here's one way you can go about it. First, read Shakti Kannan's excellent presentation on how to go about doing a final year free software project: http://www.shakthimaan.com/downloads/glv/presentations/i-want-2-do-project-tell-me-wat-2-do.pdf The pdf only contains the slides, but no notes. If possible you should attend a talk where Shakti is actually presenting the subject. Second, read Eric Raymond's article How to Ask Smart Questions: http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html This will help you ask good questions in technical and FOSS forums. Third, attend a LUG meet -- there's on this Saturday at IITM -- where you can physically meet people, introduce yourself, learn many new things, and find people who may help you with your project. > please guide me at every stage to complete this project. A mentor can only point you in the right direction and cannot guide you in every single step. But look at the bright side, experience is the best master, and you'll be learning from every mistake you make. I guess your learning has already begun ;-) Good luck! - Raja _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
