Google Summer of code coding period is 10 week long and takes place between June 7 and August 23. Students are expected to work total 175 hours over these 10 weeks, so on average 18 hours a week, but it can be more during some weeks and fewer (even zero) during others, as long as the hours add up. There is however one evaluation taking place between July 12-16, so some part of work must be done and evaluated before then. Unfortunately, the GSoC rules require that all evaluated work is submitted before the deadline on August 16, no work done later can be considered. I hope the flexibility to distribute work will allow you to participate but unfortunately we are not in a position to make an exception for anybody, we have to adhere to GSoC rules too. Martin
