Re: Google Summer of Code

[Fred Kiefer]

GNUstep is still not listed on 
http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas-2012.html

Greg, did you contact the mailing list shown there? 
(address@hidden) As long as we are not mentioned here, no 
external student will know about the possibility to work with GNUstep 
this year.

In the meantime I was accepted as a mentor by the GNU project. And I 
have set up a Wiki page for GSoC 2012 
(http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code_2012), by coping the 
2011 one and linked to it from our main Wiki page. There I have listed 
David and me as mentors. If anybody else registered, please add yourself 
here. This Wiki page links to the old GSoC ideas page. Could everybody 
please start to update this page? It should be the one linked to from 
the GNU page, when we ever get that sorted out.

Students interested in working with GNUstep may register their projects 
directly in melange and put the word GNUstep in the title to attract my 
attention :-)
