Here is my opinion, but since I'm new this year you might want to wait for Giovanni's response or one of the mentors or students who also participated last year.

I had some questions about this myself and one thing I did was to look at what was done last year.

http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2007-squeak/

and while there was some variation it is more or less as you describe.

Here is what I said to Francois, you will of course want to translate appropriately for yourself:

"What you need to do it appears is to collect IRCBot3-FS.32.mcz and at least a README.txt with a format similar to

Google Summer Of Code ---------------------

Student: Francois Stephany Mentor: Ken Causey Organization: Squeak

The project is hosted at http://www.squeaksource.com/IRCBot.html

<project explanation>

I would also request you include an INSTALL.txt which, at least from somone already familiar with Squeak, describes how to install it. Specify the version of Squeak you know works with it, the required packages and the known working versions, the order of installation for the packages, how to start the bot, and how to get started with administrating it.

If you would like you could include an LPF script to do the installation automatically. I can help you with that if you want.

Once you have the files all collected, since they are just a few, just put them all in a single directory together and compress them as a gzipped tarball."

Hi guys,

Wanted to ask if there are any specific upload format for the code besides the ones set by Google. I noticed that cedrick and francois having the similar contents (install.txt, readme.txt and *.mcz) so to be on the safe side, is there anything i missed?

Regards,
