[Scummvm-devel] GSoC in 2018?

Wed Jan 17 22:51:40 CET 2018

Hi Bastien,

Do you have a (even super vague) idea of how long it could take to handle
that? I'm strictly clueless, which is why I'm asking. Ideally, it would
have to take the 3 months, or maybe half a GSoC if we have a second 1/2
task to suggest.
Is there a way to write a description in such a way it looks sexy and
appealing? (adding screenshots of the original could be useful). ResidualVM
didn't receive good proposals of students the last years, and we really
have to find a way to make those tasks sexy to get students for ResidualVM
this year :)

Best regards,
Arnaud
