I have spent a bit of time recently to document a couple of Git for Windows-specific projects thoroughly, I could easily copy/paste them there, too. (Yaaay, Markdown! Now, if only we could use it in Git's man pages, too...)

Ciao, Dscho

Nice!

I will fill in the application.

Thanks, Christian.

Cool :-)

In case you missed it: there's an iCal/Google calendar link on the timeline page:

  https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline

If you use an electronic calendar, it's nice to add it to make sure you never miss a deadline. The URL is the same every year, it's how I got a reminder that the application was open.

From the application site I filled in the application forms and registered as an admin for this year and sent invites to Stefan, Matthieu and Dscho. If one of you guys accept the invite, we will have completed our application.

I copied the above pages and the application page to new 2018 pages so we have:

https://git.github.io/SoC-2018-Ideas/ https://git.github.io/SoC-2018-Microprojects/ https://git.github.io/SoC-2018-Org-Application/

I updated a bit the above pages but there are probably more improvements to be made. Especially I kept only the projects that both Dscho and me accepted to mentor last year as it looks like we are the only possible mentors this year.

Dscho, please copy paste what you have in the above pages.

Thanks, Christian.

Great!

It looks like you also accepted the invite to be an admin, so we are 3 admins now (Matthieu, you and me), maybe 4 if Dscho joins, so our application is complete.

We can still improve the Idea and Microproject pages though:
