Google Summer of Code 2010
Valerio Turturici
my name's Valerio and i looking for GSOC project. I've one question: i
know Python, but i've not study Django yet. This is a big problem?
Russell Keith-Magee
Not at problem at all. One of the reasons we participate in the GSoC
is to introduce people to Django, in the hope that they may become
long term contributors. If you've got Python skills but aren't
familiar with Django, there are a couple of projects on our
suggestions page that might be well suited [1].
In particular, "Improved Error Reporting", "Housekeeping" and "Testing
Updates" don't really require an in-depth pre-existing knowledge of
Django -- but if you successfully completed any of these projects, you
would know Django's internals quite well.

Russell Keith-Magee
I'm not sure what you're asking.
If you're interested in doing one of these projects, you need to write
up a proposal as described here [1].
Once you have written your proposal, you formally apply to be a SoC
sutdent through the SOCGHOP website. Applications don't open until
March 29, so you have a few days to get your proposal into shape
before you can apply.

requires tests knowledge, a very interesting field. I bought the Kent
Beck's book and it will arrive next week. About Django, I will start
studying it next week. My proposal is between these three projects. You
have special preferences?
Russell Keith-Magee
I don't have any particular preference. They would all be valuable
contributions to Django.
If you need to clarify anything about the projects themselves, please
direct your questions to django-developers. I read that list closely;
if I respond on the list rather than in personal mail, the whole
community benefits, rather than just one person.
Best of luck with the Summer of Code!

My apologies for the false accusation about personal mail - I misread
the header information on your mail. I blame a lack of coffee :-)
If you want to know about the administration of the GSoC program
itself, django-gsoc is the right list. If you're looking for feedback
or clarification on an idea or proposal, django-developers is a better
forum.
As I said last time, we don't have any particular preference - all
three of the ideas your referenced are of interest to Django as a
whole. It really comes down to your own preferences and capabilities,
and your ability to convince us that you understand the problem that
needs to be solved.

This is my first time on a real work/project, i have a lot to learn. I
think that with knowledge wich i have now the "Improving error
reporting" is a good choice.
