Google Season of Docs program inquiry

Project Infrastructure LLVM Dev List Archives

Hi LLVM community,

(if you never heard Google Season of Docs, please ignore)

My name is Joe, who is a senior static analysis software engineer and also have lots of technical writing experiences (e.g., technical book writer, research paper, customer documentation).

I am sending this letter to query a generic question about GSoD application. GSoD requires each applicant to submit a project proposal [1]. Does LLVM community expect applicants to publicly discuss their proposals in this maillist? At least I know that this is the way many open source orgs use in Google Summer of Code program.

Regards,
Joe

Hi Joe,

I don’t know about how the community necessarily expects GSoD to work, but for GSoC there was certainly plenty of discussion of project proposals on the mailing list. Certainly, I can’t see how it can hurt to discuss something on here.
