Hallo everybody (sorry for the cross-posting and duplicates some might receive)
Google announced the accepted students in the Summer of Code project. We are thankful to be mentoring three students this year. We congratulate all students on their proposals. Unfortunately not all the students could be accepted. After discussion, feedback, updates and a ranking process, the mentors for our project ranked the students, and three were selected by Google (after sorting out duplicate assignments with other organisations). http://code.google.com/soc/2008/translate/about.html This URL lists the accepted students of which I'll summarise the projects briefly below. Unfortunately Google only shows the abstract of the proposals. We want to welcome to our community the following developers for the Google Summer of Code program: George Yoshikazu Kussumoto (mentored by Dwayne Bailey) This project will work on completing our port to the libgettextpo parser, as well as completing a few features that we lack in our PO support (like previous msgid) and the tools to use them. Enrique González Paredes (mentored by Friedel Wolff) This project will look at extending our support for some XLIFF features, particularly the handling of placeables. This should lead to improvements in tool interoperability, fuzzy matching, translation reuse, etc. Julen Ruiz Aizpuru (mentored by Sayamindu Dasgupta) This project will look at several Pootle features and usability issues. Some of these include translation by means of a third language, RSS feeds, and search improvements. To these students, many congratulations. Please ensure that you are subscribed to the translate-devel mailing list, and find some time to introduce yourself and some ideas of your project. For Julen, the translate-pootle list will also be a second home. https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/translate-devel https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/translate-pootle During the next months you will need to become familiar with our project, the tools your work will impact and the code that you will be working on. During the next month you can start to discuss some ideas on your project and get to know the mentors. I hope we can count on feedback from our whole community, not just the official mentors. We realise some of you might still be busy at university during the coming weeks. We wish all accepted students well for their Summer of Code projects, include those that were accepted at other organisations. We hope to see involvement from all other interested students in whatever form, now or in later times. If there are students not accepted in the Google Summer of Code program that show interest in contributing to our project anyway, we will look for ways of finding funding to help these students during the summer. Your committed contribution will convince us! Keep well Friedel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
