Subject: GSoC applicants: discuss other applicants patches, perhaps?
Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2015 23:44:08 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAPc5daV7Dv8K8itmQhdf1CG-opMVw7DYyheHdcdL0r_9zFQR-Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
The objective of GSoC program is to learn how to work on
projects as a part of an open source community, and working
in Git project is not only about writing your own patches.
Constructively critiquing design and implementation of
patches by other people is also an important skill you need
to learn in order to effectively collaborate with others.
So, if you have time and inclination, it would be beneficial
to read and understand other applicants' patches, think if
you agree that the problem they are trying to solve is worth
solving, the approach they are taking is the best way (or
if you think of a better way to solve it), etc., and respond
to their patches with the result of your thinking as a review.
What do mentors and others think?
