The overall idea is good, my suggestion is to create something that people going to use everyday - something to be proud of and something to show people, rather than just some toy programs, this way every one get a feel of the real world programming not just solving simple problems - it does not have to be complex code, even small additions would do, that way everyone get to read good code and understand it, also it will make sure they get to feel what quality and peer review means. This would be even helpful in a resume or when talking to a prospective employer. -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as they follow the rules: laws and constitution. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "MES-FSUG" group.
