First, we'll need (just) enough info to make the idea attractive for students. Then they will need to write a project proposal with milestones and stuff (https://google.github.io/gsocguides/student/writing-a-proposal). I am not sure how involved we will be at that point, but perhaps it is a good idea to think about milestones anyway. > Note that > David Malcolm is also interested in 2b) and he's willing to be co-mentor. > The topic 2b) can be enlarged to an overhaul of option handling, with possible > rewritten of current AWK scripts. I am still a bit sceptical about the b option. IIRC there was an objection on the IRC that rewriting AWK scripts would require extensive testing in a wide variety of often obscure environments. That may make it ill-suited for GSoC. But well... I am not strictly against it, but we may need to set the expectations accordingly ...which may not make it attractive neither for students not for Google. Martin
