[Scummvm-devel] Google Summer of Code: How to proceed

[Max Horn]

Hi folks,

all GSoC students are now subscribed to this list, very good.

To everybody who's wondering how we will proceed, take a look at the  
official SoC timeline:

answer=60325&topic=10729>

So, the actual coding is supposed to start on May 28 (although of  
course people can start before that, if they want to). Until then,  
students are supposed to learn more about the project community, so I  
would like to encourage that once more. Hang our on our IRC channel  
if you can, register a forum account and check out what's going on  
there.

Beyond that, if you have spare time and energy, feel free to do more  
research. E.g. browse our Wiki; make yourself familiar with the  
ScummVM code base (maybe starting at the Doxygen docs, <http:// 
www.scummvm.org/docs/doxygen/html/index.php>). Ask folks on IRC about  
details you want to know; or nag your mentor with questions about  
your project. Or simply play some games with ScummVM if you haven't  
yet (two of them can be downloaded legally and for free from our  
website).
If you do not have the time left for that now, don't worry, it's not  
required of you -- it just might make life easier for you later.

The real work then is supposed to start on May 28. I am looking  
forward to that a lot, I hope you do, too :-)

Cheers,
Max
