I'd like to introduce the Semesta of Code a pilot that is providing Degree level Computer science students in Europe with academic credits for working on exciting FOSS projects. I believe this would be a great opportunity for W3C a11y related open source projects, especially if you have a chunk of work that could take students about a month of concentrated effort, or more. It could be development or another task suitable for Computer science students. Semesta of Code is somewhat like Google Summer of Code but as well as giving students academic credits rather than cash we have kept project admin to the absolute minimum. We will be available to support both you and the students. We've set a deadline for outline project ideas by the end of the week. My apologies for notifying you so late but I do hope you have something that you'd like worked on by enthusiastic students. Find out more about the Semesta of code at: http://semesterofcode.co Contact us at: http://semesterofcode.com/?page_id=27 PS I've attached a PDF created for the project- please let me know if it if you have any problems accessing it.
