[Discuss-gnuradio] GSoC: Multiple students working on an idea.

[Jared Boone]

Hi GNU Radio discussers,

I'm the mentor for the signal analysis tool on the GNU Radio GSoC ideas page. I 
was contacted by two students interested in working on the project. They know 
each other, go to the same school, and are in my home town -- a very nice 
setup! A recent message on this list asked if multiple students could receive a 
GSoC stipend for working on a single idea/project. The answer is apparently 
"no" according to the GSoC FAQ. However, there's this answer on the FAQ as well:

"11. What happens if two students are accepted to work on the same project, 
e.g. from an organization's Ideas list?"

"That's fine, a little duplication is par for the course in open source."

I take this to mean I should have both students submit proposals, and that 
there's a possibility both of them will be selected to work on the project. 
Does that sound right? I'm guessing my project idea is so obscure there's very 
little chance of Google wanting to dedicate *two* students to it. But it seems 
like that's the only way both students will be able to receive a stipend. 
Bummer...
