Mihir,

The proposal is view-only. You might need to give comment-access for
us to leave feedback on the draft.

Request to help potential GSOC students

2019-03-28 Thread Mojca Miklavec
Dear MacPorts users & developers,

You probably noticed a slightly increased traffic on this mailing list recently.

GSOC is an amazing opportunity for the students to learn something
new, and for the MacPorts community to greatly benefit from their
work. Last year we had almost no applications, while this year we seem
to be "bombarded" compared to the number of workforce available.

I would be really grateful to get some helping hands reviewing student
proposals and answering their questions. While not everyone of us is
heavily skilled in every aspect of the code, some of the proposals are
pretty generic, easy to understand and could greatly benefit from your
feedback.

The deadline for the final submission is the 9th of April.

Proposals that we received so far:

=== MacPorts Base

* Speed up trace mode by Mihir Luthra
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qH5VMtrQ3tvd5gFPf51lmJtd6dYfUuEmO1AvXmU_4qM

=== Web / Buildbot projects
