Hi Smyatkin, We recommend to all students that project proposals aren't too ambitious as it's often the case that the work involved is underestimated, and there's a high risk of the project not reaching completion. Students don't necessarily need to have provided small patches for PostgreSQL in the past, although naturally it would show that there would be a level of familiarity with the code base. If you're interested in PostgreSQL internals, a good starting point would be to look at the current TODO list on the wiki. The items listed there link to previous discussions around the features and can provide design proposals, technical issues and background information for each feature: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Todo There are also suggestions available on the GSoC 2012 page on the PostgreSQL wiki: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/GSoC_2012#Project_Ideas When you register for GSoC as a student, you may submit as many proposals as you wish, and those will be reviewed by a committee to determine which ones are worth implementing, have a good chance of completion, and that a specific mentor is available for. -- Thom
