Hi! I would like to indicate the recent announcement about GSOC 2013 : Blog post announcing GSOC 2013<http://google-opensource.blogspot.in/2013/02/flip-bits-not-burgers-google-summer-of.html>
Also having an amazing prior experience of contributing for Subversion, I am looking forward to contributing into a project for Subversion again as a part of Gsoc 2013.A project suggestion which I find particularly appealing is cited below. *This was also listed as one of the projects from Subversion in one of the prior programs and stays featured on the OPW page too.* (But I believe hasn't been worked on yet) *"Improve bindings to other programming languages.* * * *One of Subversion's strengths is that it offers a rich set of "binding surfaces": APIs that are available not only in C (Subversion's native language) but in other programming languages as well (currently Perl, Python, Ruby, and Java).* * * *Some of these language bindings are maintained via SWIG<http://www.swig.org/>, a tool that partially automates the process of generating bindings, while others are maintained by hand. Many of the bindings do not have complete coverage yet, or have interface problems where they do have coverage (for instance, they might not expose all API elements of the latest Subversion release). So even though the bindings are used in many production systems, and used to build popular Subversion clients such as Subclipse<http://subclipse.tigris.org/>, there's still plenty of work to do.* * * *Another huge problem for users of the bindings is a lack of proper documentation <http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2011-02/0544.shtml> specific to the bindings."* It would be great if someone would like to mentor it for GSOC 2013.
