I see there is a dub section in [2]. Maybe another issue that
has been brought up repeatedly fits in that category, namely
extending code.dlang.org in various ways?
I had thought I had followed one of the links somewhere and it
mentioned it, but it probably should be listed on that GSOC page.
It might be worthwhile to add some more structure to this page.
Right now the outline is grouped broadly by project. It might be
a little clearer to group the different projects by category
(e.g. compiler, phobos [already there], tooling, library).
Also, it might be useful to add some information on expected
difficulty or time intensiveness. I recall from the last time
some of the students maybe bit off more than they could chew
(i.e., there's no reason taking std.experimental.xml to the
finish line or work on a precise garbage collector couldn't be
GSOC projects for 2018). For instance, I imagine improvements to
code.dlang.org require less knowledge than Lowerer.
Something I would add:
Jupyter kernel (could depend on either d-repl or dabble, not sure
which is better)
