[Swift-devel] [gt-dev] Google Summer of Code 2010 - Please contribute project ideas (fwd)

[Ben Clifford]

This has been good before. I'm probably still interested in mentoring 
(seeing as it pays out beer money and a tshirt to the mentor) 
language-related projects:
 * actually implementing map/fold like operators 
would be one, if it was likely to be accepted as a contribution into the 
production codebase (which I'm not sure what the feel is for that); 

 * a prototype haskell (or other functional language) implementation in 
order to explore that space (with no intention that this would become 
production code - intention would be to give more practical experience for 
fuel in long-winded debates about whether SwiftScript would be better 
implemented inside some other langauge)

Subject: [gt-dev] Google Summer of Code 2010 - Please contribute project ideas

Hi everyone,

Globus has participated in Google Summer of Code
(http://code.google.com/soc/) for the last two years, giving us the
opportunity to work with talented students, expand our community, and
develop cool projects that would have otherwise languished on a wishlist
somewhere (see http://tinyurl.com/globus-gsoc09 for details on last
summer's projects, and http://tinyurl.com/globus-gsoc08 for the 2008
projects).

We will be applying again this year to be a mentoring organization in
Summer of Code, and a big part of the application is preparing a strong
list of student projects. I am writing to encourage members of the
Globus community to add cool and interesting project ideas to the
following wiki page:

	http://dev.globus.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2010_Ideas

You will find more information on GSoC and detailed instructions on how
to add a GSoC project idea in the above URL. Even though new project
ideas are preferable, past GSoC mentors should feel free to re-offer any
idea that was not developed last year (see last year's list:
http://dev.globus.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2009_Ideas)

The GSoC deadline for mentoring organizations is March 12th, but we
would like all project ideas to be added by March 10th so we can have
time to polish them up, ask committers for clarifications, etc.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reply to this thread.

Cheers!
