I participated for GCC in 2008 and would like to try again this year;
while I'm still active for GCC and will surely stay so, I'd like to
see something new at least for GSoC. And Haskell.org would surely be
a very, very nice organization.
Since I discovered there's more than just a lot of imperative
languages that are nearly all the same, I love to do some programming
in Prolog, Scheme and of course Haskell. However, so far this was
only some toy programs and nothing "really useful"; I'd like to change
this (as well as learning more about Haskell during the projects).

- A basic symbolic maths package; I've no idea how far one could do
this as a single GSoC project, but it would surely be a very
interesting task. Alternatively or in combination, one could try to
use an existing free CAS package as engine.
DoCon?
hm, I've only read a little on their webpage; what I was thinking of was
to implement a very basic package just to do some symbolic integration
or equation solving to be embedded in some other calculation, and DoCon
sounds like a more abstract, mathematical system.
So maybe there could still be some interest in a basic symbolic
expression package that could be backed by a CAS library like GiNaC or
some other one (better yet, pluggable) instead of imlementing a full CAS
itself.
