Early Spinoffs

We regard it as vital that our Google Summer of Code projects have early spin-offs that can be completed well within the time. These early spin offs help to ensure that even when a projects runs into difficulties that the Audacity project still gets a useful result.

One significant problem with open source software development is having interesting code that is not in a state where it can actually be released.

Each project idea for Google Summer of Code with Audacity needs to specify the planned early spinoffs.
