merging from the intern applications page; nikki's project should come out and be directly posted here, or on a subpage; while her personal application with private details can be a user subpage... the idea being that noone else is going to update her personl info, but others may have ideas about how to improve on her project idea/suggestion.

What makes a good project proposal?

Starting a list - not a binding thing or a judging criteria, but perhaps some good general suggestions from people who have written project proposals before. Please help add things! Mchua 04:14, 21 July 2007 (EDT)

  • Clearly stated goal. - Otherwise known as a thesis statement... what are you trying to do, and why should we care about it?
  • Demonstrated feasibility. - Can you do it in the set amount of time with the number of people and the amount of funding you have (and still retain your sanity)? Prove it. A project plan helps a lot with this.
  • Know your competition. - Have others done this in the past? (If yes, who are they? If no, why not - why would nobody have solved this problem before?)
