No. This markup was only done to allow students which want to =20 participate in the SoC to see which ideas are _not_ suitable as a SoC =20 project. When the rating of the submissions is done and projects are =20 taken by students, we will update the ideas page accordingly. >> For eg. >> I was planning to take up the 'super tunnel daemon' project some time bac= k. >> I had done some initial work but now i find that it has also been marked = as >> 'Suitable for summer of code'.

As long as there's no interdependency created between you and the =20 student, I see no technical reason to not collaborate. I suggest to =20 talk with the technical contact of the project about it. FYI: There is at least one submission out of ~90 for the super tunnel =20 daemon. IIRC maybe 2. There's no decission made if this project will =20 be selected or not. I try to remember to attach a note to the =20 corresponding applications in the rating interface that you are =20 interested in this project and that a mentor should get in contact =20 with you in case it is selected for the SoC. Feel free to ask me about =20 it at the weekend to make sure I did not forget to add the note. > No can stop anyone working; Be a shame though if 2 people work & > one's effort was not used. I suppose as SoC deadline was yesterday > it'll take a while for google to publish their sponsoring list. It's the deadline for submissions from students. Now we (mentors) have =20 to rate the proposals. There may even be students which get selected =20 somewhere else in the SoC and prefer to work for another organisation =20 instead for us. So we don't know at this point which projects will be =20 taken by students. At =20 http://code.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=3D60325&topic=3D10729 = =20 you can see the timeline. The official announcement of accepted =20 students (and the corresponding proposals) is scheduled for April 11. > If 2 people develope same thing: whose code will be commited will > I suppose be decided on which arrives first &/or seems best code, > hopefully independent of status of author eg student V. independent. I'm sure any judgment will be made based upon quality.
