Also, please try to make sure any ideas are something that could
easily get done by a student in a summer (so, perhaps, it is
something you could do in a month of work).
Then I have to forget half of my ideas : in most case I'm not sure
of anything. Some ports might look easy (small apps), but will
involve a lot of CF conversion. I agree : some of my suggested
projects might be huge for one student. But for 2 ? And I could
keep on the work when the summer will gone for some of these
projects in which I'm interested.
I'm sure nobody could port OpenOffice in a summer. But this project
might lead to some CoreFoundation compatible functions :)
I fear it isn't very encouraging to start a project if you already
know it isn't doable in the given time frame. If you plan for 4
weeks, however, you still often have to rush to get done in 2 months.
There are quirks, there are unexpected bugs, there are unforseen
delays and average students are usually no GNUstep experts. Better a
small thing done well and debugged than yet another half baked, dust
assembling pile of code.
You are working on CoreData? How about a student coworker doing a
CoreData <-> PostgeSQL backend?
