Scipy Summer of Code 2007

We have two Google's Summer of Code 2007 projects through the Python Software Foundation.

First Steps

1. Get a subversion account for Scipy and Scikits.
2. Join both the Scipy user and developer mailing lists. You should view these lists as a resource and a place to float ideas coming out of your project work. Please make active use of these lists: we will be reading them too, and it gives you access to the resources of a larger community.
3. Refine scope, milestones, and deliverables.
4. Create a blog for your project. You should post daily notes about progress, problems, discoveries, etc. (in lieu of status reports).
5. Install the development version of Scipy from subversion. Make sure to run all the tests.

Guidelines

1. Style:
   • Style Guide for Python Code
   • Numpy Style Guide
2. Testing: Please note that good documentation strings and unit tests are a crucial part of Scipy code base. These are absolutely necessary for your code to be usable by others.
   • TestingGuidelines
3. Documentation:
   • Docstring standards
   • How To Document
4. License: All Scipy code should be made available under a revised BSD-style license.
