Overview:
This project focuses on handling node conflicts. Currently when a user tries to save a node that has been edited (and saved) before they have submitted, an error appears and the edit is blocked.

Criteria Suggestions for a Succesful SoC Project
This discussion is focused upon hints, tips, and suggestions for how to succeed in a SoC project.
First, some background statistics. The summer of code in 2008 had 23 projects that were accepted and 20 succeeded.
According to Alex, the most important factors for a SoC project are:
- proposal quality
- past student work (i.e. students with a track record are more likely to succeed, thus more likely to get accepted).
- the amount of interaction the student has in the community
- the reputation of the mentors
