Proposals

What we need for a draft proposal:

• Brief summary of what project does (link to summary page is fine)
• Statement on what you want to add
• Features of the code base:
  • brief outline of chunks of code base (e.g., per-platform "modules", common-code "modules"), with lines-of-code breakdown by chunk
  • approximate percentage which is assembly language
  • status of compiler/linker/debugger tool chain (if non-standard)
  • license flavor
  • Standard acceptance process for code in this project
• Details of what you propose to accomplish:
  • Lines of code you expect to write
  • Type of code you expect to write (plug-in, device driver, mutate 1% of every existing file, ...)
  • List of rough milestones and time estimates (in weeks)
  • estimated person responsibility breakdown (including estimated lines of code)
  • Who else is working in the area
• Resources:
  • How many machines of what type will be necessary
  • Which machines you plan to provide
  • What will be resident in 412 "lab" (how many IP addresses?)
