In first few weeks I want to create a prototype, that will show how GUI will look like, and after that, I will start successivement programing all the features.
 *July 14 - August 18: Completing the rest of project
 Before end of SoC I want to realise all functionality which was described above (of course some ideas may change because of players or mentors ideas). In last two weeks I would also do some good campaign to examine functionality of my program (I will have to get through and figth with the software I created myself ;) ). After the SoC I would appreciate if I could be maintainer of this software and could take part in further Wesnoth development.

The second important phase which took part before coding starts will be to show on user forum some proposals of interface and give them opportunity to discuss this interface projects and how the final interface would look like. I also want to put a big stress on developing multiplayer campaigns not only because I like such but because of the fact in my opinion they integrate community. What is more, I want to create an application, which gives an easy access to translate all campaigns between different languages (implementing an existing I18N system). Players would not have problem with playing a fantastic campaign just because they do not know French or German (or even English). In my opinion it will truly help to enlarge a Wesnoth community.
 The main thing I would like to achieve is experience. That is essential for me. Note that I chose Battle for Wesnoth because I prefer to make something interesting rather than boring applications, however I am aware developing a game does not have to be that fun as it sounds to be.

	Open source and commercial programming seems to be two completely different worlds. Members of both communities are trying to convince us that their point of view is the one and chosen. But in my opinion they cannot deny fact that this two worlds just cannot exist without each other. This cut-throat competition beetwen commercial and free programmers gives motivation and propels development of software. However, both of this statements have pros and cons. For example, commercial programmers are not very helpful persons, and from my point of view, they do not take part in some big communities, where people are sharing ideas, helping each other, discussing problems and possible solutions. Maybe they are aware that their knowledge have direct connection with their salary and they do not want more competition. On the other hand, a vast majority of commercial programmers have very good skills and they are making a good software. It is not like they do not care about the program they wrote and focus only on the money, but they are trying to make it as good as it can be. Thanks to them we can use such good programs as Photoshop, Adobe Premiere or just play fantastic games. In opposite to them are standing open source programers. Their idea is to make code free and give everyone oportunity to improve and adjust software to their expectations. We cannot also ommit the fact, that they are fighting with such distortions like patenting double-click. Open source is a great chance to non experienced programmers to learn something about creating software or taking part in big projects (like Summer of Code) and creates habits of sharing the knowledge rather than being a lone wolf (because information wants to be free, does not it?). An oportunity to develop the open software is a very big source of fresh ideas. When we take all this parts together and we season with some sense of competition we get an exploding mixture of software! Someone can say:this is madness, but I will say: no, this is open source.
