[Phpmyadmin-devel] GSoC date clarification
Hello, A potential student approached me on IRC with a question about the deadlines listed in the Applicant Guide on the wiki. The phrase "The deadline for considering your contributions is week before proposals ranking deadline, so that we can use this as one of options to evaluate proposals." is a bit confusing -- which deadline is meant? I interpret that as the May 24 date listed further down the page in the section "Be familiar with the GSoC timeline" -- but there, the deadline for contributions is listed as May 10, which is two weeks, not one. So could someone clarify what is meant here? Thanks

I suggest to rephrase as "In addition to the deadlines imposed by Google, the mentoring team adds another one, which happens after the one for student applications. We want to evaluate student patches as part of our student ranking process." -- Marc Delisle http://infomarc.info

How about this : "In addition to the Google deadline for the submission of your project proposal/application, the deadline for submitting your patch(es) is a week later (see GSoC timeline below). We will evaluate student patches as part of our student ranking process." -- Kind regards, Dieter Adriaenssens

Thanks for double comfirm about that. I think in order to be selected by PHPmyadmin, we would better to commit more contribution to PMA. that is my thinking. I still improve the code coverage. Adam
