Hi Colin, I've taken a look at your proposal, and I've got some concerns.
Firstly, I'm not familiar with Django-deploy; but from a quick inspection of the project page it doesn't appear that anyone in the Django core team is on the committee list. In order for you to have this proposal accepted as part of the GSoC, you'll need to secure agreement from the project maintainers of Django-deploy that they want the help your offering, that your project proposal is sound, and that they're willing to commit to applying any patches you produce. Secondly, you haven't provided any timelines for your proposal. My immediate reaction is that you're proposing a lot of work for a student to complete in 12 weeks. For example, writing a fully tested and documented database backend strikes me as a 12 week project in itself - yet this is apparently just one line item in one part of your project proposal. Lastly, your project proposal is very light on details. You're proposing a lot of ideas, but you haven't really specified anything beyond "I'm going to do it". Are there APIs that need to be specified? If, in the case of something like a database backend, the APi is already specified, are there going to be any complications in satisfying the API? We need a lot more detail before we will be able to judge if you understand the project your proposing, or if you are just proposing a bunch of ideas but haven't given those ideas any more thought than "this sounds interesting" Yours, Russ Magee %-) On Sunday, April 21, 2013, LittleQ@NCCU, Taiwan wrote: > to django-developers: > > Sorry, I use Google Drive for proposing, and I original tend to copy&paste > it to here but found it will get in a mess. > > so I put my proposal here: > http://goo.gl/xJyJ9 > > My idea is to contribute to django-deployer and make some significant > improvements for it. > This proposal is still editing, but I pre-post it to prevent I'm thinking > it in the wrong way. > > any questions or any advise are welcome, thank you, I'm really a big > Django fan, and I hope I can make it better. > > cuz seems like there's no #django-dev, so feel free to add my XMPP > directly: [email protected] <javascript:_e({}, 'cvml', > '[email protected]');> > > it's open for messaging anytime :D > > > - Colin Su > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Django developers" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]<javascript:_e({}, > 'cvml', > 'django-developers%[email protected]');>. > To post to this group, send email to > [email protected]<javascript:_e({}, 'cvml', > '[email protected]');> > . > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers?hl=en > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
