That is certainly too big as a Micro, but I do not think it is too small for GSoC, if it is to be done right (meaning, not just implementing an arbitrary version comparison hardwired, but design how to make it extensible). I have a feeling that I am complaining that student projects are designed to be too grand and getting told that I am overly pessimistic by everybody else every year. Perhaps this year others may prove me wrong, if we can find mentors, that is ;-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
