Is there any work ongoing on the GC, I know there has been lots of talk from time to time, but are there any concrete efforts out there that a student could start from? Also I've seen lots of discussion on improving SQL support, and good starting points. For the parser generator there is currently Pegged, that could be integrated into Phobos. Would that be enough work for a full project. https://github.com/PhilippeSigaud/Pegged Also, anyone interested in mentoring projects related to these topics.

It's hard to say. It depends on how much time it takes to get up to speed. If the student already knows D it will be a lot quicker. But for me that's already working on this, I really hope it wouldn't take that long time. I think it's a bigger chance that it's too small than too large.

So any opinions on this project idea are welcomed. Would you be willing to mentor such a project, or put together an outline (see the ideas page for some examples) of what the project would look like? If the community likes the project idea, but you can't mentor it then perhaps we can find someone who would be.

Also if you see a project with yourself proposed as mentor, and you can no longer participate, then please let me know so I can remove your project from the existing list. If you are interested in mentoring a project, in addition to adding the project idea to the ideas page, you should add yourself to the mentors list at: http://wiki.dlang.org/GSOC_mentors If you have and idea for a new project it would be worthwhile to post it here so the community has the opportunity for input before it gets added to the ideas page.

In here: http://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd there's the web stuff, simpledisplay.d is a window lib, color.d (especially plus png.d and bmp.d) is a basic image thing, and simpleaudio.d does cross platform sound. I'm not sure any of my stuff would pass the phobos bar, but it all works well for a lot of things I've done. minigui.d builds off simpledisplay.d to do some gui widgets (still needs a lot of work though), and I'm working on doing some games with it too (simpledisplay.d can make a opengl context easily). I don't think my image library would pass it either. But windowing yes definitely. Hence why I'm saying we will most likely need a new image library for phobos. Although in saying this, it might be worth my time at some point to invest in major refactoring and improvements to your sound module. Push it out as Devisualization.sound or something. Then again that would mean file formats like mp3 loading/saving would be needed. Suddenly just the graphical stuff seems hard enough.

If you are working on some cool project related to the D ecosystem, and think a student could help you (and you could help them) we could maybe add your idea to the list.

It should likely include the mentors, but they might be biased, so some folks outside the mentors group would be nice.
