[Openchemistry-developers] Google Summer of Code 2017

[Geoffrey Hutchison]

Hi Melvin,

I see that Adam also wrote you back. It seems like you have several interests - my suggestion would be to think of one project that interests you the most.
(I’d humbly suggest the cclib web repository or the OneMol concepts)

Yes, one week can be enough to write a good proposal. They’re not very long and we do try to provide comments to draft proposals submitted through Google Docs.

As Adam mentioned, we have a guideline to applying on the wiki:

Thanks - we’re looking forward to your proposal!
-Geoff
