2007-03-12 Thread Landon Blake
I am going to try and help Frank get our ideas list for Google's 2007 Summer of Code wrapped up by the end of the week. I know that the participating projects have already done a lot of this work here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code However, I was hoping I could

I think you are a bit late to be asking this one; we rounded up ideas last week ... and the request was for possible mentor. Matching up student with mentor is as much a game of timezone, common spoken language as it is knowledge. For projects such as GeoTools, uDig, GeoServer the contact

For clarification .. the ideas pages are kind of useless IMHO. They are not the point ... They are mostly there to inspire students; and give an impression of what kinds of topics each project likes to play with. The great part about SoC last year was the students ideas (after all we are
