Summer of Code/2014/Port to Python3: Difference between revisions

Line 88:

There are several reasons why this project is important to Sugar Labs: (1) we need to keep pace with the projects we depend upon upstream -- Python 3 is being to become de rigour -- and (2) Python 3 has much better support for i18n and unicode -- critical to the global nature of our project. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] ([[User talk:Walter|talk]]) 13:38, 20 March 2014 (EDT)

Gabriel Perez: I think the project is important and beneficial for the community because porting to Python 3 means getting more support from the Python community. It's important to keep up with the updates Python receives to ease maintenance tasks in the future and prevent compatibility issues.

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

Getting stuck means I have already put my efforts to solve some problem. Yes, the mentors are there to guide us, but in such a case, rather than keep waiting, without hesitating, I'll ask out the problem on IRC, mailing list of this sweet community. And if it's a technical problem, can be put on some other relevant places to get out of there.
