Great news :) I would love to take part on this. I'm PhD student and was thinking about some Plan9 related project, if the suckless project will also be a mentoring organization maybe there is some good project involving both things which could be done (I remember a Plan9 port of dwm - mentored by Anselm - was a propossed idea in the Plan9 GSoC wiki last year, for example). Other vague ideas I have could be something st/libgt related (see my wheel designs post, I'm really willing to put my hands on this) or some work to try to fit better plan9port/9vx/inferno with X: I would like to use plan9/inferno applications in a more transparent way, now I have the feel of running it inside a box, this is an idea that has crossed my mind some times: write a rio substitute which multiplexes /dev/draw to different x windows (clients), modify acme to use separate windows too, and use dwm/wmii to control everything. It sounds complicated, but it would just be a matter of moving code from one place to another, something in these lines should be doable. Of course, these are just some rough ideas, and I am open to any suggestion from possible mentors. Though I would apply as a student, if you need any help to prepare the application as mentoring organization, just drop me a line, maybe I could help. BTW, I think it would be interesting to add to the wiki page the candidates to mentors/students.
I hope we can find some good projects to work on. Regards, -- - yiyus || JGL .
