Application for GSoC 2013

[larmbr zhan]

Hi all,

I'm a junior student from a non-famous college,
I apply to parcitipate in GSoC , to help do some
vbscript module implementation.  I've just submitted
a patchset on this.

Thanks.

Howdy Zhan,

While your college may not be famous, it's still nice information to have
(and let's us get to know you better).

You're going to have to be (much) more specific with your application, what
modules do you plan to implement, what applications does this help (if you
know of any), etc.

Sending a patchset to start is definitely a plus though :)

Well, I am a student from Defence Industry Staff College of GuangDong, China,
and major in electric automatization. Programming is my hobby :)

Actually I am a huge fan of underlying stuff like OS, programming
language internals or so. So I think vbscript implementation is right
up my alley.

And For specific field in this component, I would said to fill some
blank of vbscript
component, since this may block some user applications .
e.g. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31025

I think picking up the implementation of array support for vbscript
would be a challenge
and a significant task.

And I am quite pleased to hear any advice from you all :-)

Yes, vbscript sounds right then. It's a nice language to learn from
others' (MS in this case) mistakes :)

Well, support of arrays requires touching about every part of the
engine, so it's not something for the first patch. It's better to start
with simpler parts, like you already do.

No worries, no collage name can give you as much as a patch. That's a
good start and I think vbscript improvement can be a good GSoC project.
