How much of it the student can implement is left entirely to the |
| 9 |
student both as a gauge of his understanding of the demands of the |
| 10 |
project, as well as his management and evaluation skills. This does |
| 11 |
not mean that the student who "promises" to get the most done will get |
| 12 |
selected, rather the student who (no matter how much he intends to do) |
| 13 |
can provide the best plan (as well as skills to back it up) will have |
| 14 |
an advantage. |

I would recommend looking at some of the other python backends and |
| 21 |
coming up with a skeleton "backend" (or architecture) for portage. |
| 22 |
This will be most fruitful in understanding PackageKit, and making a |
| 23 |
time-work-skill analysis. |
