Hey All,

So, I'm looking to complete the application for this year's GSoC (Google Summer of Code, for those unfamiliar). Unlike previous years, they actually want our application hosted with them as opposed to a link to what we want in our wiki.

It supports markdown, which is awesome, but when I go to pull what we have and put it in a text editor that counts characters, we're at 2035 characters when we need to be at 1500. Again, this is with the relevant markup which unfortunately counts against us.

The source I speak of (for those with a wiki account is): http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=SOC_Application_Template&a...

Is there anyone with the time and inclination to help keep the substance while cutting down on the fat? (It looks lean to me as a start, but as you can tell by this email, brevity isn't normally a strong point for me)

Our application needs to be complete by the 9th and this is one piece of it that I could really use a hand on due to my obligations for SCALE which are overlapping right now.

I don't know that the main text itself that we host needs to be cut down as much as we should start a second copy that is intended for brevity, with shorturls and all that to help too.

Any volunteers?

Cheers, Josh
