[PD] GSoC Organization App 2008 wiki page

[Martin Eckart]

How'd the application submission go?  Did you get as many mentors as
you'd hoped?

Unfortunately the March 24th-30th  window is exactly when most of my end
of term projects are due so I'd like to get working on my student
application this weekend with hopes that the mentoring application
process goes through smoothly ;)

Currently I'm considering applying for LibPD (depending on
scope/difficulty, I'd love to help get PluggoPD working) or possibly
Speech Recognition as a secondary interest.

Since I'm a noob to actual PD development (I have some experience
creating and compiling externals, but that's the extent) so I've got
some trouble with scoping the issues.  At the moment, the LibPD project
just seems to me like a "fiddle with makefiles" project but I'm pretty
sure there's a lot more to it than that so I'd like to pick someone's
(Chris?) brain about it a bit in order to make a good and clear
application.


Also, is this list the forum I should be discussing this in?  Is
PD-devel more appropriate?  IRC?

I was also about to ask whether you really expected proposals close to
the 7500 word limit I read about in the GSoC FAQ, but I just re-read it
and figured out it's 7500 _characters_.  ~1000 words seems a lot more
reasonable ;)

Cheers,
