Hi potential GSOC'ers,
If there are multiple students interested in the project you're applying to it's a good idea to put in more than one application.
This is a project proposal that would focus on performance analysis -- in particular in reusing some of the tools for analyzing memory access patterns in the context of Haskell:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/1619
I think this project would yield pretty good bang for the buck because almost all the pieces are already there. They just need to be combined, polished, documented, and evangelized.
Cheers,
-Ryan
