[Haskell-cafe] Possible GSoC project
Hi, I proposed a bioinformatics GSoC project involving Haskell using OSC as the mentoring organization. Typically, haskell.org projects concern infrastructure rather than applications, and I don't know if I'm allowed to submit both places :-) Anyway, as this is a likely place to find prospective students and (co-)mentors, I thought I'd mention it here. But if anybody is interested, I think it makes for a quite focused, solvable problem, which I belive would be quite useful. It could also likely result in a scientific publication of some sort. A quick writeup (that I'll probably update) is here: http://biohaskell.org/Google_Summer_of_Code#optimizing-transalign -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Just a suggestion: People love quizzes and brain teasers. (Remember those google billboards?) If you could blog briefly (expository-style) about this with links to further reading, and more importantly, include challenges in the bottom-half, I bet you could get some buzz circulating. Especially if you manage those all-important bragging rights! -- Kim-Ee ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
