We've worked our way through the project approval process for another year. This year we accepted 9 projects for haskell.org in general and are hosting 2 additional projects for darcs as an umbrella organization.
haskell.org: * Parallelise 'cabal build' by Mikhail Glushenkov, mentored by Johan Tibell * Extending GHC to support building modules in parallel by Patrick Palka, mentored by Thomas Schilling * Communicating with mobile devices by Marcos Pividori, mentored by Michael Snoyman * Improve Haddock Markup and Capabilities by Fūzetsu, mentored by Simon Hengel * Haskell Qt Binding Generator by Zhengliang Feng, mentored by Carter Schonwald with help from Ian-Woo Kim * Improve the feedback of the cabal-install dependency solver by Martin Ruderer, mentored by Andres Löh * Interactive-diagrams and a paste site with the ability for dynamic rendering of diagrams by Dan Frumin, mentored by Luite Stegeman * Overloaded record fields for GHC by Adam Gundry, mentored by Simon Peyton-Jones * Port Charts to use Diagrams by Jan Bracker, mentored by Tim Docker darcs: * Better record command for darcs by José Neder, mentored by Gillaume Hoffmann * Enhancing Darcsden by BSRK Aditya, mentored by Ganesh Sittampalam Students have from now through Jun 16th to get up to speed and get to know their mentors. And while the summer of code officially starts on Jun 17th, keep in mind that the mid-term evaluations aren't that much farther behind, starting July 29th, so you'll want to hit the ground running. If you put in a project proposal and it wasn't accepted and/or you would like feedback, please feel free to email me or contact me on the #haskell-gsoc channel on irc.freenode.net. We received more proposals than slots this year, and so we were forced to make a few hard decisions. Shachaf Ben-Kiki is helping out as this year's backup administrator and he should also be able to help out with administrivia or questions as well. I'd like to thank everyone for participating in the selection process and I think we can look forward to another excellent summer of code! Edward Kmett haskell.org Google Summer of Code Administrator
