I would prefer students come up with their own ideas ;) GSoc has not started and we have not been picked as an organization. I expect we will be but I an hesistant to act without being selected. That being said, feel free to file a bug and if/when we are selected I will update the webpage accordingly for SoC 2008. You can attach ideas to the bug until the webpage is up; does that seem good enough? -Alec > > > -- > Fabian Groffen > Gentoo on a different level > -- > gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list > > -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
