Hello
I’m new to this “summer of code” and was planning to apply for llvm but I’m not sure what to write in my proposal?
I have looked at a couple of proposal templates and most of them has an “Project Details” part. Lets say I want to
implement an new and cool optimization pass for llvm, what kind of details do you want to know of: details about how
I’m planning to incorporate the pass into llvm (to show that I understand the inner working of llvm), or how the optimization
work on a more theoretical level (to show that understand the algorithm), or something completely different? And what other
things do you think should be mentioned in an “great” proposal?

It's good to know what your experience and background is, etc.

Speaking as a mentor of the Python Software Foundation, in my opinion it is extremely important to explain in some detail what you are planning to do and when you plan to deliver it. If you don't do that it is hard to judge whether you actually finished your project, whether you are behind schedule and maybe need help and whether you should receive the grant in the end.
