Hi, It's my pleasure to announce the chosen Beagle projects for this year's Google Summer of Code program!
* A Xesam-based D-Bus interface for Beagle - Arun Raghavan * Thunderbird backend rewrite - Pierre Östlund * Browser Extension Rewrite for beagle - Tao Fei You can read the abstracts for these projects here: http://code.google.com/soc/beagle/about.html We had 30 applications to Beagle this year, and with only 3 slots to fill choosing the projects was very difficult. We had good applications ranging from additional metadata and semantic search to adding support for Sylpheed-Claws and Opera M2 support to dashboard and many more clever ideas. Unlike last year, where we had great, fairly experimental projects, this year we wanted to focus on solving some concrete issues that Beagle users are facing right now, and the projects chosen reflect that. I'll be sending out emails to the students soon, but given the smaller number of projects and my desire to get the community more involved, I think that discussions, status reports, etc. should probably take place as much as possible here on the dashboard-hackers list rather than in a separate mailing list or via private email. I'll also be updating the wiki for these projects. I look forward to a fun and exciting summer!
