Talk:Bityi/GSoC

Any comments here would be greatly appreciated. Here's one from the mailing list:

"All students can ask for feedback on this list; otherwise you will get feedback by email / through the SoC interface.

Feedback on this list is good if one is amenable, since it lets everyone see the sorts of issues that make for a better application. In this case, your proposal is an interesting one; though as this has been tried unsuccessfully in the past, it seems quite ambitious. One typical path to an unsuccessful summer internship is planning a project that one intends to do alone that is quite ambitious, without an obvious subset that could be used as an interim milestone and shared early on for public adoption. What kind of collaboration would you expect / need with other projects? Are there other people interested in the project who have been working with you to date? Does this interface directly with Develop?"

I have attempted to respond to the feasibility aspect on the page, with a calendar and some discussion of my first-draft attempt to attack this same problem. Also, clarified that this is a part of Develop - the "bityi" name is not a thing in itself, just a made-up word for this functionality. As to collaboration, I would expect the code to do this in Pippy would be quite simple, a later step (not encompassed in this proposal) would be pootle integration, but I can complete this proposal without collaboration.
