What kind of projects do you have in mind for the Summer of Code people
to take on?
The project I personally was planning on doing was an official GUI for
MacPorts. Currently, there's only a non-free (in all senses of the word)
frontend.
Apart from this, porting a major application: like the next big
Gnome/KDE could also fit the bill. Surely, you guys must be having a
TODO list? :)
Additionally, any general *nix application that hasn't been ported to
Darwin/OSX yet will qualify as a MacPorts project. There are tons of
these out there, so a proposal could either contain porting several
small applications or one big one; the coding time allowed is 3 months.
One very useful thing I can think of is getting dependencies
to support variants - i.e. port 1 need 'port 2 +variantA'.
Yes, that would be good.
A couple of other ideas:
1) Complete the work to have a single py-* portfile work for both Python
2.4 and 2.5.
2) Find a box to support compiling code on older OSes. Not everybody
has a 10.3 box, but it would be good to have smoke tests on them and
email the person who did the commit if a new Port broke on another older os.
