We only build 32-bit binaries on Solaris, but it's being worked on. I

can.
On Linux, we build twice - once for i386, and once for x86_64. You
pick at install time which you use. Would this be an option for Solaris?
What is the timeline we're dealing with here? What are the deadlines
we
need to know stuff by?
This year's timeline is at:
http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2011/timeline
Essentially, if OpenAFS is to apply, the application needs to be with
Google by 23:00 UTC on March 11. Whilst we don't need to have every
mentor in place by this point, we do need to have sufficient
commitments that we know that we could accept students this summer.
Anything else just wastes Google's time.
The critical thing to have as part of the application is an ideas list
- there's still lots of stuff from last year's list to do, but it's
not necessarily clear that we would have mentors to support them. The
ideas list can be a living document - we can add to it at any point,
but it's one of the things Google reviews before accepting an
organisation.
Cheers,
Simon.
