Hi all,
The application period for Google Summer of Code starts in just a few hours. We are all jazzed from the interest shown by prospective applicants and the great ideas floating around. As you prepare your applications, make sure to go into detail on all the features you plan to implement in your project. In your project timeline, plan out carefully what you will complete and when. We love to see well-organized timelines.
In addition, send your demo code to me, Amrit, and Karan. Make sure to link your demo code on your application.
Some suggestions for each project on what we are looking for on your demo application -- the starred features are highly recommended to show.
