That means, you are responsive, you know how to handle mailing lists and bugzilla and how communications between developers normally works. - You can use a version control system, create clean patches and file them correctly. - You can write clean code. That does not mean that you have to write much code, it can also mean that you understand existing code and know how to fix it. It's also means following coding style of existing code. In short, we want to see that you can get work done. We don't expect that you write the world-greatest patch inventing the coolest feature ever but you should get the basics right. That might not sound very difficult but we had major problems last year with students who failed with this simple tasks. Note also, that this is my personal opinion and some summary from the mailing list discussion on the mentors list. Regards, Johannes
