How good do you need to be to get accepted? Do they only want A students from CS courses, sort of thing?

- sh4na 16y agoNot at all, there are many different projects with varying levels of difficulty. Everything from documentation addins to web apps, build system fixes or runtime work. We don't care what your level in school is, we care that you're excited about contributing to open source and propose a project that you can do.

I just see how well they do on the qualification tasks we give out, how well the student interacts on IRC, and whether there are any things that might interfere with an effective summer (e.g. having another job at the same time, etc).
