Hey Mikhail,

Thanks! I have applied on the Google form. I have also made a google
doc and here[1] is the link.

Great! You are very welcome! This is a really important project,
though the scope is quite a bit larger than one person can
realistically achieve in 3 months, so you'll have to prioritise (we'll
help you with that). You can start by taking a look at issues labeled
"nix-local-build" on the bug tracker:
https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22cabal-install%3A+nix-local-build%22

Duncan Coutts, as the principal author of new-build, would be the
obvious first choice. However, he seems to be unavailable right now,
but will probably be back before summer. I can also help you with your
project, and I've also spoken to Edward Z. Yang, with whom I believe
you've already had some interaction; he's also open to the idea of
being a mentor or a co-mentor.

Please don't forget to apply before tomorrow's deadline.

Good luck!


Cheers,
Mikhail

Summer of Haskell | Cabal Project

[Pranit Bauva]

Hey everyone,

I am Pranit Bauva and I am interested in participating in the Summer
of Haskell program to complete the project "Last Mile for `cabal
new-build`". I have got a few PRs merged[1] and I am now working on
another one[2]. I have done a GSoC under git last year, so I am quite
familiar with the whole process.

My motivation to participate in SoH is mainly to learn Haskell and I
personally think that contributing to a real world project is the best
way to learn a language rather than just doing course exercises.

I am currently looking for mentors to help me with the project. Is
anybody interested?
