Difference between revisions of "FOSS project identification and indexing"

Some guidelines we have identified in an intra college discussion to evaluate the projects were:

# We could be looking at precisely the "contribution" and its worth in the contemporary scenario (relevance and significance).

# We could also be looking at *ability to communicate* with development team, whose members are scattered - for which proof has to be produced (that will inspire other students, if the dialogues are simple)

# We could look at *tools* and/or modified tools that were used for the work

# We could also look at the fact whether the work is available in GPL (we are rewarding Free Software - not restricted/proprietary applications developed using Free Software).

# Identify possible domains(broadly applications and system level) and classify projects to make evaluation easier and better.

The work now in pending is this

# Publishing of a potential list of tools or softwares which are available open (or identify the FOSS tools).

# Then call for registering the projects with the staffs or students in charge.

# Before doing this we have to prepare a detail of what should be there in the student applications (What all he/she have to specify).
