There are a number of ideas that we've been collecting for projects
available through the trac
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/report/1
and which have been collecting over time in a reddit:
http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell_proposals/top/
http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell_proposals/top/Unfortunately, reddit
doesn't let you comment on topics after they become archived, and most of
the topics in the haskell_proposals reddit have been.
While the reddit is a great place to discuss proposals, we had to choose one
mechanism to supply Google with our ideas officially, so please submit
proposals http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/newticket to the
trac once you have hashed out something you like to work on, or which would
be an appropriately beneficial project for a summer worth of work.
*Helping Out Darcs *
Haskell.org http://haskell.org/ is going to continue to act as an umbrella
organization covering darcs http://darcs.net/ for the Summer of Code once
more. If you are interested in helping them out, they also have a page full
of project ideas as well:
http://wiki.darcs.net/GoogleSummerOfCode
Again, please submit
proposalshttp://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/newticket as
tickets to the trac if you can think of something you'd like to work on.
