Maybe we can discuss them here prior posting them. I added some of my own ideas and some ideas that have come up on the mailing list and a to wiki page. I also included some general policies and information. Maybe a native speaker could proof-read the page from time to time since it's part of the official application as mentoring organisation. I encourage everybody to propose further ideas. Someone (arg?) should also add his contact information on the page and some other formalities you are supposed to put on that page (see pages of other organisation in 2008).

Re: [dwm] Google Summer of Code 2009
Great news :) I would love to take part on this. I'm PhD student and was thinking about some Plan9 related project, if the suckless project will also be a mentoring organization maybe there is some good project involving both things which could be done (I remember a Plan9 port of dwm - mentored by Anselm - was a propossed idea in the Plan9 GSoC wiki last year, for example). Other vague ideas I have could be something st/libgt related (see my wheel designs post, I'm really willing to put my hands on this) or some work to try to fit better plan9port/9vx/inferno with X: I would like to use plan9/inferno applications in a more transparent way, now I have the feel of running it inside a box, this is an idea that has crossed my mind some times: write a rio substitute which multiplexes /dev/draw to different x windows (clients), modify acme to use separate windows too, and use dwm/wmii to control everything. It sounds complicated, but it would just be a matter of moving code from one place to another, something in these lines should be doable. Of course, these are just some rough ideas, and I am open to any suggestion from possible mentors. Though I would apply as a student, if you need any help to prepare the application as mentoring organization, just drop me a line, maybe I could help. BTW, I think it would be interesting to add to the wiki page the candidates to mentors/students. I hope we can find some good projects to work on. Regards, -- - yiyus || JGL .

[dwm] Google Summer of Code 2009
Hi, this year there will be Google' Summer of Code and Anselm has agreed that the suckless project will pariticipate. Usually it will be announced in the next weeks. Since they require every participating project to provide a website that lists the ideas for the student projects, I suggest to setup a wiki page. Maybe we can discuss them here prior posting them.
