Hi john,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>I think I have rough idea about the project now(A binding language translator for glusterfs). Let me present it to you. Pls correct mistakes. Also I have cc-ied the gluster-dev mailing address for suggestions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The project is to create a language binding translator for gluster. The translator is compiler that can covert the Gluster specific data formats and datas to a serialised format. This format generated at serverside is passed to the client. The client can
use any programming language supported by our language translator. Using this language he can get data from the serialised data stream sent over the network from the server. This works like thrift or protobuf but specially made for gluster accomadate its specific
needs.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Isn't it right?</div>

Hello John,<br>
<br>
Any number of students can apply for a project idea. Therefore first<br>
ask them to submit a valid<br>
proposal.(The method of submission and related info can be found at<br>
the students' guide wiki[1])<br>
<br>
Then the mentor/s for the idea can go through the submitted proposals<br>
and give them scores based<br>
on the proposal submitted. Then you can choose the best proposal you<br>
think that will be completed<br>
and would be the best solution among the submissions.<br>
<br>
When selecting a student it is required put more weight on whether the<br>
student will complete the project and<br>
whether the student will continue working with Fedora after the gsoc.<br>
I think those are critical questions we need<br>
'yes' as the answer. If not how good the proposal is we need<br>
considering rejecting them.<br>
<br>
You can mark submission giving scores once the deadline is passed for<br>
proposal submission. For now make sure<br>
the students will submit their proposals as described.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your support.<br>
<br>
Happy Summer Coding !!<br>
