[tahoe-dev] Google Summer of Code! Mentors and Ideas wanted.

[zooko]

Folks:

I'd like to apply for Google Summer of Code.  If we're accepted, then  
Google would pay a small number of students a stipend so that they  
can hack on Tahoe this summer.  To apply, we need two things: people  
willing to mentor students, and Ideas.

To be a mentor, you need to know Python pretty well, be picky about  
testing and documentation, and be nice and friendly and easy to talk  
to.  Google says that it usually requires about five hours per week  
to mentor a student.

As for Ideas, our issue tracker is overflowing with them -- http:// 
allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/report/1 , but to apply to GSoC we need to  
make a wiki page which identifies which tickets are the right size  
for a summer project: http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/wiki/GSoCIdeas .

Please jump in and post your ideas to that wiki!  The deadline to  
apply to be a GSoC open source project is Friday.

Regards,

Zooko
