Hello Siddharth,
Welcome to the Chapel community!
IRC and mailing lists are currently the best ways to communicate with core
Chapel developers. You may get a quicker response in the IRC channel:
#chapel-developers. However, keep in mind that the core Chapel team members are
distributed across the US, primarily in the PST time zone, so you'll observe
most activity during typical workday-hours of those time zones. The mailing
list is always a safe fall back for communication outside of those hours.
I think either of your proposed ideas could make a great GSoC project. As for
the Chapel application, the ported SDL bindings to Chapel
(https://github.com/mjk8ball/chapel-sdl) may be a good candidate for rendering
graphics in Chapel. Although, it looks like it has not been worked on in over a
year, so there may be some maintenance required for compatibility with the
latest Chapel version.
In case you haven't seen this in the application instructions - please be sure
to fill out, sign, and send us an ICLA
(https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel/tree/master/doc/developer/contributorAgreements),
so that we are able to accept your future pull requests on GitHub.
We look forward to learning more about you and helping you get started with
working on Chapel!
Best,
Ben

Subject: [Chapel-developers] Hello everyone
Hey,
I'm Siddharth, and I love programming in general. I found Chapel through the
GSoC 2016 page, and I'd like to submit a proposal under Chapel.
I use a lot of different languages (Haskell, Rust, C/C++, Python, etc), and I'd
like to learn and use Chapel as well, since it seems to be a language that's
trying to push computing.
I participated in GSoC last year under VisPy (a graphics and data visualisation
library for Python), so I'd like to work on something a little different this
time.
I'd like to either build a complete application (probably a game) using Chapel,
or create Jupyter bindings for Chapel. Both seem like really fun and
interesting things to do with the language.
Here is my github: http://github.com/bollu
I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts about the very rough ideas I have :)
Could someone also point me to the IRC? I found #chapel-developers on freenode,
but it doesn't seem very active.
Super excited to work on this!
Thanks,
Siddharth
