Hi there,
GSoC 2010 has kicked of and is looking for mentoring organisations
next week, hence it's time now to get organised.
Who is willing to mentor this time?
What project ideas do you have apart from http://suckless.org/project_ideas?
Note, to be successful this time, we need to focus on a

I would love to see a suckless windowing system. I know
that it is a point on the project page. But that is something
I see as a important thing for me. But I'm also not sure
if that is something which can be done during the GSoC.
I think the approch of Stali is intresting but since

Another idea that I'd like to push this year is the creation of a
suckless issue tracking/bug tracking system. All existing systems suck
and it is still a burden for projects and small businesses to track
bugs or customer issues in less sucking ways. The existing
alternatives are all a big desgrace

This can sound like not so much work..but it does from the side that

Hi folks,
I found some interesting issue-/bug tracking system last week. Even its
written in Python the idea is cool. Bugs Everywhere
(http://bugseverywhere.org/) uses the underlying scm (aka git, hg, bzr)

It has also a mail-frontend like the debian BTS (didnt tried it, j
I agree about the issue trackers + the mail integration. A small
suggestion: none of the issue/bug tracking systems do collaboration very
well either. What I mean by "collaboration" is the capacity to pass a
single document back and forth with several "notes" appended to it. a giant
"comments"

Anselm,
I saw where you had some base ideas for a widget toolkit. I think
that'd be a great GSoC project. I also support the bug tracking
software idea, but a non-retarded toolkit would make my day.

You are very helpful. How about "We need a text indexing system for personal

That's a feature, not a bug. Hash tables are bloatware. If you can't do it
with linear search, you shouldn't do it. Don't even get me started on

An awk script equivalent to grep is at least one order of magnitude smaller,
and possibly two.

I'd like to see dmc improved upon. In it's current state it can already send
mail with smtp, but there are also aspects of it that could be polished a bit
more, like being able to receive mail, pgp support, et cetera.
More work on stali would be very nice, too.

Hey all,
I'm a first year student, and I'd be interested in helping out for
GSoC. I like the idea of centring the projects on a "development
environment", which doesn't seem too broad.
I'm personally interested in writing a Unix-native samterm of some
kind (I love sam, but not the Plan 9 samterm)

Hi, yet another student here, of the second year British variety. I'd
