Hi,
i m researching for webapp manager for tuscany and m going to apply
for that. Referencing to one of the post , it says its a joke.
I just wanna ask if this infeasible at all and if there is any thing i
could step up to work with.
It does work, some people have applied. But I've seen lots of people
reporting problems finding things.
It's just a question of looking hard.
I don't think there are any complications with the actual application
process so if you have found your project, engaged with the mentors and
done your prep work you should be just fine.

thanks..

I'm a student that will apply GSoC'11 with Apache. From the perspective of a
student, I think one reason is that the idea list of Apache projects is
released a bit late. In fact, a number of other organizations released the
idea list long time before the organization application deadline. Hence some
of students who are not patient enough tend to apply with these early
organizations. Just my personal feeling :-)

Is anyone else's historical success rate low or is it just me?
My experience with GSoC included successes, failures, and outcomes
somewhere in the middle (e.g. a project was delivered, but we never
integrated it in the codebase, and it was left to rot in the repo). Our
conclusion was that the type of task you post for your students to do
plays
a very important role in this (the last discussion on that is here:
http://markmail.org/message/qg2ovoiwtcp3eji5 ). Most of the applying
students are not already active hackers on a project, so giving them tasks
requiring massive changes to the sensitive areas of the code is one recipe
for disaster, and there are more...
