 I live on Canada's west coast, Pacific time. During the summer I can be active anytime during the day between 08:00 am and 20:00 pm, preferably for a two or three-hour slot. I COULD be available much more often depending on how I arrange my coding time and if I run into any problems.
 The plan is to remain logged-in all day, and check periodically (every 15-60 minutes) for updates.

 .6) What do you expect to gain from this project?
+* I expect to learn how a <b>successful</b> 'self-organized' project gets along, and make contacts out of the productive people that I meet. Since my dream is to be a lead programmer, I want to see if I have what it takes to last long enough as a regular codemonkey, <b>and</b> what sort of leadership skills the best coders on Wesnoth's team have.
 .7) What would make you stay in the Wesnoth community after the conclusion of SOC?
+* The community itself is rewarding, and well suited to my tastes. It's not too friendly, it's not too cold, the quality restraints on contributions are tight but fair, and I'm kicking myself for not having gotten involved sooner. Knowing what I know now, I intend to stick around and learn as much as I can about how the community developed this way, and about the most instrumental figures in the process.

 .2) Which tools do you normally use for development? Why do you use them?
-<b>Aptana Studio</b> (an Eclipse fork): I love how in Eclipse you can click/select a variable or class/function name, and then Eclipse highlights all other references in that namespace, AND hightlights all points on the scrollbar so that you have a visual reference for large projects (Too much Ctrl+F jumping hurts my eyes).

-<b>Pico</b>:
+* <b>Pico</b>: This is comfy for C++ coding when I'm too tired to deal with Vi.
-<b>Vi</b>:
+* <b>Vi</b>: This is my preferred 'industrial grade' IDE for C++. I like it because it feels the way I view C++ code in my head; it's mechanical and cold, unsheathed gears spinning away, lubricated titanium joints moving with purpose to fulfil the elevated desires of the mad inventor! So, er, it makes me feel like a steampunk programmer; I like the greasy all-business feel.
 .3) What programming languages are you fluent in?
-The only language I'm truly fluent in is Python; I'm still in the process of emigrating to C-land. I'm capable of programming in Java and C/#/++, but much at a slower pace.

 .4) Would you mind talking with your mentor on telephone / internet phone? We would like to have a backup way for communications for the case that somehow emails and IRC do fail. If you are willing to do so, please do list a phone number (including international code) so that we are able to contact you. You should probably *only* add this number in the application for you submit to google since the info in the wiki is available in public. We will *not* make any use of your number unless some case of "there is no way to contact you" does arise!
 In general please try to be as verbose as possible in your answers and feel free to elaborate.

-<h3>Daniel Tadeuszow - Practical Multiplayer </h3>
+<h4>Daniel Tadeuszow - Practical Multiplayer </h4>
 In singleplayer and multiplayer (prior to opening a lobby) a difficulty level is chosen and passed to the parser, which then runs through the WML. Depending on the difficulty level, certain values are chosen for various variables. HOWEVER, there is no limit on what can be specified. Many map-specific values (like unit starting positions and in-game text) can even be changed.
