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. |

This will be most fruitful in understanding PackageKit, and making a |
23 |
time-work-skill analysis. |
