Which means we have about a month and a half to put something
together. For the time being I've recycled last years projects (with
one dropped so far):

We have had another student inquiry on the GSOC front. I am going from
memory, which is always a bit sketchy, but it seems that there is a bit
of an increase in student interest this year.
Would there be any interest in a project to automate binding generation
from C files (or perhaps even a full conversion tool)? This could be
done either as a new project, or possibly building on dstep - if there
is meaningful work that can still be done to improve that project.
Alternately, the student suggested using pycparser
(https://github.com/eliben/pycparse) as the basis for such a tool?
Jacob, are you sure you don't want to Mentor? It seems like you are
involved in all the interesting projects from a student perspective :o)
Is there work that can be done to improve dstep?
I have a c phase 1-3 implemented in D.
I would be willing to give up the source if I keep the rights (but code
can be open just not an open source license).
Could be used to fully translate c code to D without too much work I
would think.
