I doubt that the PHPUnit project itself could take part as a mentoring organization. This is why I hope to get this project idea in under the umbrella of the PHP project. An argument in favour of this might be the fact that the implementation could use the parse_tree extension that was implemented during last year's GSoC.

I would say you should go ahead and add the idea to our SoC page (http://php.net/ideas.php). BTW, we should start gathering ideas because the summer is not far away.

I am not really a politics fan, but if we are going to list project not under "the php.net umbrella" (PHPUnit isn't a php.net project anymore, is it?) don't we then have to list _all_ PHP related project ideas? I have nothing against a central page for all PHP related ideas but then it has to be open to _everyone_ to add their own PHP related ideas, not just the ones we like.... (No. I am not willing to add every wacky idea we would get) -Hannes > > Best regards, > Sebastian > > -- > [1] http://www.phpunit.de/wiki/Ideas > > -- > Sebastian Bergmann http://sebastian-bergmann.de/ > GnuPG Key: 0xB85B5D69 / 27A7 2B14 09E4 98CD 6277 0E5B 6867 C514 B85B 5D69 --- ## #28136 — Sebastian Bergmann — 2007-02-25T18:06:36+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/28131#28136 · In reply to: #28135 Hannes Magnusson wrote: > I am not really a politics fan, but if we are going to list project > not under "the php.net umbrella" (PHPUnit isn't a php.net project > anymore, is it?) don't we then have to list _all_ PHP related project > ideas? I understand and will remove the idea in question if you want. -- Sebastian Bergmann http://sebastian-bergmann.de/ GnuPG Key: 0xB85B5D69 / 27A7 2B14 09E4 98CD 6277 0E5B 6867 C514 B85B 5D69 --- ## #28137 — Hannes Magnusson — 2007-02-25T19:53:18+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/28131#28137 · In reply to: #28136 > Hannes Magnusson wrote: > > […] > > I understand and will remove the idea in question if you want.

I think we should allow non php.net project ideas as long as they are relevant to PHP. I have actually encourage the php doctrine author to consider proposing an SoC idea. regards, Lukas --- ## #28286 — Lukas Kahwe Smith — 2007-03-07T12:32:41+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/28131#28286 · In reply to: #28133 Nuno Lopes wrote: > I think that's a good idea.

Actually Students have to submit their proposals by March 24. So now is the time to compile the ideas page. I assume we are already registered as a mentoring organization with Google for this year? Here is the full timeline taken from the FAQ: What is the program timeline? March 5: Mentoring organizations can begin submitting applications to Google March 12: Mentoring organization application deadline March 13: Google program administrators review organization applications March 14: List of accepted mentoring organizations published on code.google.com; student application period opens March 24: Student application deadline Interim Period: Mentoring organizations review and rank student proposals; where necessary, mentoring organizations may request further proposal detail from the student applicant April 9: List of accepted student applications published on code.google.com Interim Period: Students learn more about their project communities May 28: Students begin coding for their GSoC projects; Google begins issuing initial student payments Interim Period: Mentors give students a helping hand and guidance on their projects July 9: Students upload code to code.google.com/hosting; mentors begin mid-term evaluations July 16: Mid-term evaluation deadline; Google begins issuing mid-term student payments August 20: Students upload code to code.google.com/hosting; mentors begin final evaluations; students begin final program evaluations August 31: Final evaluation deadline; Google begins issuing student and mentoring organization payments regards, Lukas
