that is indeed true. and it is even more true when you are not used to Plan 9. I was a student in the last gsoc and, even having used Plan 9 for years when I started, it took me some time until I could actually produce something. maybe students should aim at simple and useful projects. fancy stuff may seem cool to do, but usually are too much trouble for a summer. iru -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Plan 9 Google Summer of Code" group.
