Hi Michael,
I started to follow the steps you have asked me to study. Also I
noticed the GSoC project ideas list in 2009 and some of them were done in
2009 and 2010. As I saw the "Asynchronous LSParser and parseWithContext"
project is not done as a GSoC project yet. Is this project available now? If
so, can I attempt to do this project for GSoC 2011?
Thanks.
