I'd also be happy to be a backup mentor. I've been part of the GSoC in the past. I know the official situation is that there is a 1:1 correspondence between mentor and student, but if anyone wants any additional support while mentoring I'd be happy to be a part of that as well. Cheers,

Great job answering the application questions, David! I was just wondering if Steve Yegge could vouch for Clojure since I remember him being very excited about the language, so maybe he might say a nice word for Clojure participation... -- You received this message because you are subscribed

Here's one more idea but I'm not quite sure how to implement it so if anyone can confirm that it is doable then it would be nice to have this idea on the GSoC list. Clojure already has a set of benchmarks to test its performance but the data is not so easy to get for an common Clojure user

Another two ideas were added :) (Native Clojure and Code optimizer). Hoping readers will not mind for putting myself as mentor on one of them, but if there are better candidates, feel free to take it :) I did a little bit gcj + Clojure playing and I'm eager to see native Clojure without jvm.
