Students could use it to get familiar with Guix and free software development. That project would also give you autonomy; you will still need to communicate with Guix developers, but you will be able to use your own project management system, repository, conventions, etc. In eight months I would not expect a "version 1.0" software from inexperienced students, though. I think the results should be guessed by you and the mentors from the university based on your experience and the experience of the students in free software development and tools. --=20 Luis Felipe L=C3=B3pez Acevedo http://sirgazil.bitbucket.org/ --047d7b33d67cd1d4ae04f1b2d8fb Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
