[GMOD-devel] [x-post] GIS Indexing for Chado

[॥ स. ॥ <vi...@sv...>]

Hello,

I had applied for the "GIS Indexing for Chado"[0] Gsoc project and as
per my off-list mail to Scott and Robin yesterday, I propose to work
on the same project outside the Gsoc framework. The proposal is
available on Melange[1] and I would request you to take a look at the
same and provide feedback. I would like to know if mentoring outside
of Gsoc is feasible or does this suggestion sound impractical(?).

Besides there is another requirement -- within Gsoc, google usually
handles administrative matters (acceptance letter, CPT certificate,
etc..) and since my University has strict project requirements --
requires a formal letter (akin to a CPT) from the Organization,
including the assigned mentor's CV, etc... ; I am not sure how to go
about this outside of Gsoc.  Hence, this email to the gmod-schema and
gmod-devel lists for your opinions and also to request for mentors.

Thanks for reading.
