Hello, we are now accepting applications from students! You can visit http://socghop.appspot.com/ to apply now.
Looking over the suggested list of projects, I wanted to say, this is an awesome idea. It certainly will help MacPorts with some needed maintenance, features, or hopefully, totally out of the box features.
I was curious, what was the outcome of last years gsoc with regard to MacPorts? What was done, how many total students were approved?
I believe it was on the WordPress blog I read that there is a 5000.00 prize. Are most students shooting for that, meaning they are going to hit more high profile projects like WordPress?
Personally, I would find MacPorts a funner entry, but if I were solely motivated by the prize money, I'd go high profile; which happens to be a bit easier IMHO since WordPress is going to be nearly all php or UI/ UX.
Then again, php and tcl aren't *that* far apart if you know one or the other. I imagine any CS students hurdle to simply be syntactical.
Thanks if anyone remembers how last year went down. I could find anything with a quick google.
