So here are my comments on the application, in no particular order: - The questions you have answers for are from last year. You should update them for this year.
- Some of your answers are actually popdown selections in the Melange form, so you won't be able to elaborate as you have (in particular, the question about if you are a new or veteran organization, and the question about what license you use). - My biggest suggestion is to extend your ideas page. This is one of the main things that Google looks at, so it should be well fleshed out. - You might want to actually be in #pydy, especially now that students are starting to be interested. Right now, the only people in the room are me and a potential student. You might also want to get a ChanServ. - For the "What is the main development mailing list for your organization?" question, you should include links. - You say, "If a student disappears, ... [we] can take steps to resolve the issue." You should describe in detail what those steps would be. - Your answer to the "What steps will you take to encourage students to interact with your project's community before, during and after the program?" question only focuses on the "before" part. The "after" part is split into a separate question this year, but I see that you've got it at the end. So flesh out the "during" part. - I would write up somewhere the story about how PyDy came to be (i.e., the whole situation with Luke and Autolev and so on). It's a good story, and I think it explains why this project is so important. It probably fits best in the "organization description" question. - For "Why is your organization applying to participate in Google Summer of Code 2013? What do you hope to gain by participating?", also describe why you think it is important to not just work under SymPy any more. - The deadline is tomorrow, so make sure you've submitted it. You can edit it up to the deadline. All in all, I would say that the weakest part is definitely the ideas page. Fortunately, you can still work on that after submitting (the deadline is Friday, but likely Google won't start looking at the applications until Monday).
