Hi all,

One question to more experienced GSoC'ers. I do understand that this is important to find mentors in advance.
As soon as I think nowadays it is critical for the programming language ecosystem to handle BigData [1], have a proposal to implement HDFS [1] support for CloudHaskell [2] with some MapReduce abstractions.

What would be the "right" way to communicate with potential mentors? I looked at http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ and it seems there is not so much going on there. Or, perhaps, this mailing list is just OK?

Thanks,
Andrei

This is the official timeline:

Looking forward to reading your übercool proposals :-)
