For example in case of https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/1736 <https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/1736> I would estimate effort to go roughly - 1% setup (as most of the development environment was already existing) - 5% researching tagging (as roads tagging is relatively well established) - 10% researching other maps - 5% coding - 10% testing whatever my code works as expected - 40% testing whatever rendering works well, tweak colour/width/zoom settings and repeat - 24% communication (via diary, issues, pull requests, mails etc) - 4% asking others what is their comment of given style - 1% administrative GSoC overhead note: "collecting new ideas for styling" is not appearing above as there was no dedicated time for that (except "researching other maps"), I noted new ideas as they appeared during other tasks or during day. beware: it was 3 years ago, and this is based on my memories
