Re: GSoC candidate

Hi and welcome ! It's always nice to get new motivated  contributors :)

First, make sure you've read
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code

You next steps will be twofold:

(1) get two patches accepted (bugfixes for instance) in the codebase, and

(2) Discuss with Jabier in details what you will do, detail how long you
think each part will take, in order to prepare the application. Good
applications include way more details than the proposals, and a clear
roadmap :)

The application itself will have to be posted before April 8th on the
GSoC website.
