Also, you can still record contributions after the application, but as Rica= rdo said, the number of contributions is not the primary metric. > Sorry for the typos.

Please, don't get confused. That one is an open discussion, feel free to jo= in. We would like to have a clearer picture about the community expectations regarding the project, set up some priorities, and plan some infrastructure= for the work. I would like you to get involved, so that you can also express yo= ur opinion and expectations, as the outcome of the discussion will influence y= our work if you are chosen. ( It is very undesirable that you work on something= that you don't like, it kills morale fast. ) > Shall we discuss together how to set the timeline? Yes, that would be nice. > Shall I propose it? I would like you to come up with an initial proposal, and then iterate on t= hat. > Do I need to know the editing tools before starting the internship if > I am chosen? I don't think that is necessary, and at the current state of discussion I w= ould not like to force any tools. Actually I am open to proposals regarding the concrete implementation ideas, and the set of tools to use. > > > > > > -- > > Ricardo > > > Regards! > Laura Best regards, g_bor
