Well, it shouldn't be the student's first year writing code. Basically,
they're committing to developing a feature *to completion* in 3 months.
We're going to be evaluating proposals based on whether we think students
can do that.
References of some kind will be important, given that we'll only be
accepting about 12% of proposals. So, some demonstration of the student's
ability to code from either the open source world or previous coursework.
I don't know, honestly, that we care very much about theoretical
background, except where it relates directly to and cutting-edge concepts
in you proposal. PostgreSQL-space is littered with half-completed
academic projects; we're not seeking more of those.
