This sounds like it would be perfect for students. I will list Wesnoth at the information session I am running on the 19th. > If you had some formal process in mind, please let us know the details of it > so we'd be able to assess whether we'd be able to commit to it. I have not constructed a formal process yet. I plan to have one but it would be very light weight. It would consist of 1 or 2 follow ups to see how everything is going. I think that it will be best to pair students up with a mentor (first point of contact) and an initial project. I will have more details once I gauge the response from the information session. > > Regards, > > David > >> >> Thanks, >> Chris De Vries >> >> [1] http://ewh.ieee.org/sb/queensland/qut/ >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Wesnoth-dev mailing list >> Wesnoth-dev@gna.org >> https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev >> > > > > _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list Wesnoth-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
