hi there! do you go by Shi or Xiaolong? that sounds like a good plan. I'd say, dive in! hop over to #kget & take a peek at the source! :) more info for kget http://www.kde.org/applications/internet/kget/ IRC: irc://irc.freenode.org/#kget Mailing list: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kget/ Source code: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdenetwork/kget/ svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdenetwork/kget/ I posted this in response to another student, in case you missed it: some more Metalink specific advice, altho this applies for other mentoring orgs too. researching the problems & describing your solution will help public code in a code repository, contributing to another open source project previously, or starting work on small bite size bugs shows your skill and initiative. let me copy some general advice from Mozilla too - https://wiki.mozilla.org/Community:SummerOfCode12#Application_Advice * Read How Not To Apply For Summer Of Code and avoid doing the things listed there. http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/gerv/archives/2006/05/how_not_to_apply_for_summer_of.html * Read our examples of good applications: 1, 2, 3. https://wiki.mozilla.org/SummerOfCode/SampleApplications/1 https://wiki.mozilla.org/SummerOfCode/SampleApplications/2 https://wiki.mozilla.org/SummerOfCode/SampleApplications/3 * It is entirely acceptable to apply for 2 or 3 projects, if more than one catches your eye; if the applications are high quality, that probably improves your chances a little. However, more than that seems like spam. -- (( Anthony Bryan ...
