Re: Interested in TISEAN package for GSoC

[Piotr Held]

Juan,

Thanks for the tips. I think I now have an idea how to complete this project. 

I am aware that the deadline is tomorrow. That is why I submitted a proposal on melange, that does not really have a timeline (as I did not fully understand how to tackle the problem). My wiki page is better in that matter. Should I submit another application on melange that is better, or is it enough that my wiki page is complete?

Do you know of any other libraries that link fortran to oct files? I would appreciate the extra examples, if I could get a hold of some.

Also could you give me any tips concerning my wiki page? Should some topic be discussed more thoroughly?

:)

Piotr I am copy information form the other discussion regarding GSoC.

The application deadline is tomorrow.  We then have until 13 of April to rank
and select students.
As far as I am aware, no one else is applying for this project.  But
please, do not think that there's a slot for every project, or that we
will select a student just because there's no one else.
