Hi, Just so that you know: there is now two students inquiring about the same project. We cannot know in advance how good the proposals will be, but we certainly cannot accept two students for the same project.
(That doesn't mean that you should grab a different project, but you might or might not want to keep this in mind when writing the proposals in case the other idea(s) sound reasonable. So far there was no interest yet in improving the buildbot part or perhaps other parts of the website.) In any case do not forget to demonstrate your skillset with samples and/or prototypes. I would suggest to visually convince us with some nice-looking (may be static) single page as well as provide some kind of functional prototype along with references to any projects you did before. I also added two additional "availability" questions to the template at https://trac.macports.org/wiki/SummerOfCodeApplicationTemplate Mojca
