Q3 :What is the time line for development of your project? The Summer of Code work period is 7 weeks long, May 23 - August 10; tell us what you will be working on each week. (As the summer goes on, you and your mentor will adjust your schedule, but it's good to have a plan at the beginning so you have an idea of where you're headed.) Note that you should probably plan to have something "working and 90% done" by the midterm evaluation (July 6-13); the last steps always take longer than you think, and we will consider canceling projects which are not mostly working by then.

You and the community

Q1 :If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Sugar Labs community? Give 3 answers, each 1-3 paragraphs in length. The first one should be yours.

Ans :

Q2 :Sugar Labs will be working to set up a small (5-30 unit) Sugar pilot near each student project that is accepted to GSoC so that you can immediately see how your work affects children in a deployment. We will make arrangements to either supply or find all the equipment needed. Do you have any ideas on where you would like your deployment to be, who you would like to be involved, and how we can help you and the community in your area begin it?

Ans : I would contact the bunch from India that I know and help out. Happy to work on this, close to Kolkata, probably. Anywhere in India is still fine.

Q3 :What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around?

Ans :I will resort to the following means:

1. Contact the community. Both Moodle and Sugar have a significantly active community.
2. Contact the GSoC admin for Sugar for a backup mentor in case
3. Lookup on the internet.
4. Contact fellow Sugar students.
