[Sugar-devel] ideal flash activity to be remade as karma activity

[Wade Brainerd]

Just to be clear, this is a perfectly normal part of the GSoC application
process.  Last year with OLPC I had to choose between like 6 different
Typing Turtle applications, several of which were quite good.  And in the
end, none of them was funded by Google.
So, we'll analyze your designs, schedules, resumes, related projects,
potential for future contribution to the project, etc. and choose the best
one to attempt to have funded.

That said, getting a head start on the project and getting involved in the
community are great ways to ensure success.  Check out
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Print_Support for an example of an applicant
who has written test programs, had his ideas evaluated several times on the
mailing list, laid out a fairly clear technical design, etc.

Keep in mind that we have no idea how many students we'll get from Google.
 So you are not only competing against those who submit a proposal for the
same idea, you are competing against all the other project ideas as well.

Best,
Wade
