Subject: [Fedora-mentors-list] GSoC proposal for a offline package
	update/install tool
Message-ID: <3170f42f0703220907v7e8d40a3ra08fe4e3c23b6fd6@mail.gmail.com>

I would like to develop an offline package update/installation tool or
a similar enhancement for Pirut for this year's Summer of Code. Here
is the draft: http://glug-nith.org/~rishi/download/soc/soc-proposal-fedora-offline

Is this too easy for a Summer of Code project?

Regards,
Debarshi

This site is either too slow or completely timing out. Perhaps you can 
just use the fedoraproject.org wiki under your name space since you have 
write access to it. The proposal itself is not accessible I havent look 
at the details but the best thing you can do is to talk to the 
developers involved like Seth Vidal (irc nick:skvidal) and Jeremy Katz 
(irc nick:jeremy) (both CC'ed) to check what they think about the 
proposal and whether they have time to be your mentor admist Fedora 7 
development.
