I think they want to see more polish on the app. I had a brief
conversation with the administrator of GSoC, Leslie Hawthorn:Hm, I don't know ... We had really many ideas on the page and described in many details
(at least the most of them) - much more than last year. Also the other organizations I was looking through did have much
less ideas without a detailed description ...However, of course it can be better for the next time ;)
I think they wanted to see the whole page look polished. We had a
lot of ideas, some polished, and some just jotted down.
Well at least the list is there now. Pity about the application, I was looking forward to it :-(
Anyhow - had I known about the ideas needing more fleshing out I would have been happy to do so. Here's to next year's app with more flesh on the bones!
BTW, I also wonder if we would have a better chance if we had some kind of already established 'Foundation' - I see this word popping up a lot on the participating organisations page. I know Pd enjoys its de-centralised status, but having some kind of semi-formal 'Foundation' seems to help with things like funding applications. What do you think?
