Jumping off the official text : "Summer of Code 2006 is a program that offers student developers stipends to create new open source programs or to help currently established projects"
So I think you could find some issue in getting that approved - your proposal isn't a currently established project and, while it would be a new program ( and have to be open source) , its more in line with a .com startup or a proof of concept than a project -- as it would require some centralized service to do all processing. If you look at what they approved last year: http://code.google.com/soc-results.html A lot of projects were refactoring / upgrading / implementing new features into framworks and applications. The only webapp made was this: http://wiki.apache.org/general/MyFacesExamplesProposalTerryHeath which was made to a_ be a code reference to new developers b_ be a tool used by the open source community Its a cool idea - but I i'm not sure google will be eager to fund that vs something that is more beneficial to the framework. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
