Hi there!

I saw recently in the (really awesome) "nim survey" for 2017, that there's a 
bunch of ecosystem things that people are requesting:

[https://nim-lang.org/blog/2017/10/01/community-survey-results-2017.html](https://nim-lang.org/blog/2017/10/01/community-survey-results-2017.html)

eg, top of the list seems to be something like a python requests-like library

(as a random idea, Rust Lang already has over here, which could be liberally 
borrowed from, if not outright wrapped using the C FFI for a very early 
version):

[https://docs.rs/requests/0.0.30/requests](https://docs.rs/requests/0.0.30/requests)/

)

And then there's also the Google Summer of Code 2016 application over here, 
which lists some different projects:

[https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/wiki/GSoC-2016-Ideas](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/wiki/GSoC-2016-Ideas)

Is there any kind of place (eg wiki), where these kinds of things can be 
maintained and tracked?

(eg, something like ongoing progress/who is busy on what, who is mentoring, 
etc, and then kept up to date with eg, what's been chatted about on IRC or on 
the forums, that kind of thing).

Well, I guess it depends on how many volunteer hackers there are floating 
around with some free time to kill, who're interested in that kind of project.

Random eg, I see that PMunch might be interested

Also, whether there might still be some kind of mentor/mentee relationship, 
outside of an official GSoC event. Guess you might call it NSoC for Nim Summer 
of Code instead, if it doesn't make GSoC; and then do that informally....

Well, just random stuff I'm curious about.

Might also be an interesting exercise to poll about just how many people might 
be interested in some kind of slightly more coordinated effort to check off 
some of those projects
