Hi,
The Open Bioinformatics Foundation just submitted our application for this year's Google Summer of Code. For a full timeline of the next couple of weeks see the bottom of this message. In the meanwhile we should still improve our project descriptions a bit: All possible Mentors (also people that are interested in being co-mentor but have not proposed a project) please update out GSoC page and add your name to the list of mentors. For the project descriptions, it would be good to improve the way the descriptions are structured. Can we add the following sections to each of the descriptions? Rationale, Approach & Goals, Difficulty and needed skills http://biojava.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code Here the timeline for GSoC for the next couple of weeks.
