    62 === For the MacPorts Project ===
     61=== Proposal Guidelines ===
     62
     63'''Submit your proposal early''': early submissions get more attention from developers for the simple fact that they have more time to dedicate to reading them. The more people see it, the more it'll get known.
     64
     65'''Do not leave it all to the last minute''': Make sure you send your application before the final rush. Also, note that the applications submitted very late will get the least attention from mentors, so you may get a low vote because of that.
     66
     67'''Keep it simple''': we don't need a 10-page essay on the project and on you. You just need to be concise and precise.
     68
     69'''Know what you are talking about''': the last thing we need is for students to submit ideas that cannot be accomplished realistically or ideas that aren't even remotely related to MacPorts or the project. If your idea is unusual, be sure to explain why you have chosen MacPorts as the best place for the project.

    106118Currently when MacPorts users upgrade to a new OS or hardware they are advised to follow a set of manual [wiki:Migration migration instructions]. These instructions can be challenging for casual users to follow and in some cases more difficult if executed after the OS upgrade or hardware change.
