These are heady times. Let's spread the word to friends and
colleagues! If you're a student, consider embarking on a project. If
you're experienced with D, consider applying for mentorship.

Walter, please announce this on digitalmars.com and link to the
project ideas page.


Thanks,

Great news!
Although I was astonished to find a Units library in the list, it seems
an order of magnitude less useful than everything else. I'm sure we
could come up with dozens of more useful ideas.


Sure - you may want to edit the Wiki page.

Fantastic news!
Student applications will open on Monday, March 28, 2011 at 19:00 UTC btw.


But Digital Mars is still listed as "accepted, but they have not yet
completed their organization profile" at
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/program/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2011


Walter is on that.
