Re: [Scaffoldhunter-users] Fwd: Re: Google Summer of Code 2013

[Karsten K. <kar...@ud...>]

Hi Vlad,

thank you for your emails. What we are looking for basically are people
that have the necessary prerequisites, are willing to learn new things,
and are interested in improving Scaffold Hunter.

In the end we want the student to learn something in a successful
project that provides improvement to our tool.

So in general you should make sure we know about your skills and any
specific knowledge that might help in successfully completing the
project (without overdoing, of course ;-)).
In addition, it helps to show that you are actively thinking about
the project, and that you prepare a concept to deal with the challenge.
This could be either to ask specific questions on the realization, or
to propose a plan how you think you will tackle the problem.

Best,
    Karsten
