== I want to be one of your Google Summer of Code students, what should I do... ==

Welcome!
Here is a quick list of things to do at this time:

* '''MOST IMPORTANT''' Submit your application to Google till March 21st.
* '''MOST IMPORTANT''' Join the irc channel (#wesnoth-dev on irc.freenode.net) and talk about your project and your appilication. We will not give formal interviews, but we will clearly favor people we have learned to know during the selection process (basically communication via IRC is mandatory for our project! it is the main way of "every day communication" for Wesnoth. For the same reason, it's also a good idea to regularly read the [http://www.wesnoth.org/irclogs/2014/ IRC logs].).

* '''VERY IMPORTANT''' Create the wiki page about your idea (Make a copy of the student proposal page template: [[SoC2014 Template of Student page]]):
** Fill the questionnaire.
** Detail your idea as much as possible, look at other students pages, and please give timeline, milestones and studies you've done
* If you haven't done so yet, create an account on gna.org (required for committing later on)
* If you haven't done so yet, create an account on the wesnoth forum, and tell an admin of the forum or leader of the group on the IRC channel to mark it as a GSoC Student account (admins/group leaders are: Boucman, Crab, fendrin/Fabi, Ivanovic, Mordante/SkeletonCrew, Noy, shadowm/shadowmaster, Soliton)
* Though not mandatory, it is highly advisable to go to the [[EasyCoding]] and [[NotSoEasyCoding]] pages and implement one of these ideas (or any idea of similar scope) so we have an idea how you work. Be sure to use your gna account when submitting these patches so we know who it is coming from. You can also implement some features from our feature request database at gna. When you implement something, also list it on your own page with a reference to the patch. This should give you a good idea what the Wesnoth sourcecode is like and will provide a good start to getting used to our coding style, too. You can also start working on your project and submit patches/prototypes related to it

* For working on Wesnoth you have to be able to compile trunk. To do so you should have a look at the [[WesnothRepository|page about the repository]] and afterwards [[CompilingWesnoth|compile Wesnoth]].

== Information about our Project ==
The information we provided google with about our project can be looked up at the site [[SoC Information for Google]].

Also see the [[DeveloperResources]] link (from the [[Project]] page).

== People to bug on IRC ==
We have prepared a list of people with their "area of competence". This is to give you an idea on which areas those people can be of help for you. Of course you should always just ask in the IRC chan, but those are the most likely ones to answer questions in the respective area. And here is the list:
