Thanks for the feedback :) Just read the mail by David, and I can see we also need someone who would be willing to submit Lift to GSoC - Not sure if google would find it fishy if I submitted Lift and later sumitted for the project as a student also :P
If you have any ideas for the 'ideas-list' which you think would be a welcome addittion to lift, please post em here :) On 10/02/2010, at 09.37, Jeppe Nejsum Madsen wrote: > Mads Hartmann <[email protected]> writes: > >> Morning everyone (it's 8am in Denmark) >> >> I would very much like to participate in Google Summer of Code 2010.
