Walter, I will try. I am moving on Feb 3 to Palawan. I'll try to get to it then. My principal concern re GSOC is to define projects with manageable scope - many of the past projects ended undelivered. Tony On 1/21/19 3:10 PM, Walter Bender wrote: On Mon, Jan 21, 2019 at 3:44 AM James Came

Thanks. But my vote is no. It's not three months of coding. It doesn't solve a problem we have with our software products; Sugar, activities, Music Blocks, or Sugarizer. Our problem with the web site is with the content, in turn because we have had few content producers, and too many people pro

My two cents re GSoC: from the very beginning of our involvement, I have thought of it as an opportunity for us to take some risks and explore new ideas. That being said, it is incumbent upon us to provide good mentoring and follow through. -walter On Mon, Jan 21, 2019 at 12:18 PM Samson Goddy w

Just for some point of correction. Sugar Labs Social was never a GSoC project, I don't understand why you keep bringing it up. Any "coding" project that is related to Sugar Lab's goals or leads to improvement to the mission is eligible as a Gsoc project. Some project requires more than 3 months
