Hi all, it might be interesting for some of us, and interesting to distribute for others:
"This summer, don't let your programming skills lie fallow. Use them for the greater good of open source software and computer science. Google will provide a $4500 award to each student who successfully completes a project by the end of the summer." [1] And I know one idea that might very well lead to an award. I don't know the details, but the KDE project participates [2], and has this idea up on the web "Writing a KDE application not in C(++)": "Description: The KDE/Qt framework is famous for providing a low-entry barrier for people to get in touch with OO and GUI programming. The goal of this bounty is to show that this doesn't have to be done in C++. There are language bindings for many scripting and other rapid-prototyping-compatible languages, like Ruby, Python or Java. Your mission is to prove that they're generally useful by writing a new KDE application or rewriting an existing one using these languages." Thus say a KDE version of Jmol and JChemPaint seems a *very* option! I don't seem to qualify... I *am* getting old :( But I think many of us have students around whom we might get interested in this. One catch! The deadline is on the 14th! We'll have to move fast!
