I've contacted the owner of this project, and he said he would like to mentor this project, I sent him my proposal as well and haven't got the response. I think for this part it's no problem. and actually I finished some prototypes of some ideas in my proposal, it's my bad not yet writing it in my proposal. I'm not good at writing proposals (I'm not English native, so it takes me more time to write it), but I will keep improving my proposal, so plz feel free to give me some input. > > Secondly, you haven't provided any timelines for your proposal.

I will keep working on the proposal detail until it's good enough for GSoC and everybody's understanding. I will conclude the others' comments and keep modifying the proposal. thanks you very much : ) - Colin > > 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] >> >> 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]. >> To post to this group, send email to [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.
