Google Summer of Code 2006

Hello,

Haskell.org is going to partecipate as mentoring
organization to the 
Google Summer of Code programme of this year.

We have formed a group of volunteers taking care of the
administrative 
work as well as the mentoring part. The group is listed
here: 
<http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Summer_of_Code:_People&
gt;.

We are now looking for projects, and mentors.  We've
reached number 24 
but we are happily going to add more, Haskell Open Source
paid work for 
the summer!

We have got a request for a darcs Gtk GUI, many thinks is a
good project 
but maybe a Darcs expert would be better suited for
mentoring it.

You might want to mentor some student who will be working on
some of the 
important TODO or whishlist entries, for example.  Either
just add your 
ideas here: 
<http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Summer_of_C
ode:_Project_suggestions> (as 
well as your informations on the People's page) or contact
me for details.

I am also looking for students, I'd like to ear from them
if they are 
going to partecipate with Haskell projects, last year I was
alone! (I 
did write the bindings to the Cairo vector graphics library
and 
integrated them in Gtk2Hs.)

Details about the programme itself can be found on the
official webpage:
http://code.
google.com/summerofcode.html

Hoping you like the idea as much as me,
Paolo.

Nice idea!  

Just a minor note (I've changed the page on the wiki).  It
might be
better to make this wxhaskell gui, because

1) there's already been a bit of work on it by David Roundy
and by
   myself

2) it's native to multiple platforms, namely, Windows,
Linux, and 
   MacOS X

Unfortunately, I have neither the time to mentor or be
mentored on this
(define student...), but I would love to see somebody
picking up the
ball and running with it.

Anybody who might conceivably be interested, see also
