+Google Summer of Code and similar project guidelines
+
+Summer of Code is a project by Google in which students are paid to implement
+some nice new features for various participating open source projects ...
+
+This text is a collection of things to take care of for the next soc as
+it's a little late for this year's soc (2006).
+
+The Goal:
+Our goal in respect to soc is and must be of course exactly one thing and
+that is to improve FFmpeg, to reach this goal, code must
+* conform to the development policy and patch submission guidelines
+* must improve FFmpeg somehow (faster, smaller, "better",
+  more codecs supported, fewer bugs, cleaner, ...)
+
+for mentors and other developers to help students to reach that goal it is
+essential that changes to their codebase are publicly visible, clean and
+easy reviewable that again leads us to:
+* use of a revision control system like git
+* separation of cosmetic from non-cosmetic changes (this is almost entirely
+  ignored by mentors and students in soc 2006 which might lead to a surprise
+  when the code will be reviewed at the end before a possible inclusion in
+  FFmpeg, individual changes were generally not reviewable due to cosmetics).
+* frequent commits, so that comments can be provided early
