Since this winter term is the very first term that a SPP has been organized at the University of Waterloo, very few specifics can be given about the nature of the project itself; however, as the term progresses, this web page will be updated with more detailed information.
For the first SPP, we hope to have between five and twenty people contributing to the project. If more than twenty people wish to contribute, additional projects may be created. The project chosen will be large enough that a large number of people can work on it, yet small enough that it can be finished during the two months left in the winter term (eventually, there may be multi-term SPPs). Everyone is welcome to join the SPP regardless of skill level.
The project can be anything which students are interested in. Graphics libraries, gaming toolkits, microwave oven controllers, programming contest entries, utilities, CS assignments, operating systems, compilers, databases, etc. are all possible projects. The project can encompass any topic which students are interested in such as artificial intelligence, DSP programming, specific languages or programming libraries (C/C++, Java, Scheme, assembly language, MFC, etc.), specific operating systems (UNIX, mainframes, DOS, Windows, Mac, etc.), computing theory, modeling and simulation, graphics, etc. If students are unfamiliar with specific aspects of the projects, tutorials on those aspects will be organized.
