Summer of Code Mentors for Language.C

Would anybody be interested in mentoring me for a summer of code project working on language.c? I want to write an internal pre-processor that saves information such as comments and potentially some specially defined annotations, so that code can be analyzed better.

Hello Andrew, This is something I've been wanting for a while, and I'd definitely be interested in mentoring the work. We'd want to work together (along with Benedikt Huber, the current maintainer) to define a specific scope that's appropriate for the summer of code. A fully-compliant internal pre-processor could be quite a lot of work, but it may be possible to come up with something that would be close enough to be useful, and have a plan for how to continue working on it after the summer. However, I should mention that the Haskell community has put together a fairly long list of potential projects, many of which are more widely useful than Language.C work. This may mean that it would have a relatively low chance of being accepted. A high-quality proposal would help the odds, however. :) Aaron -- Aaron Tomb Galois, Inc.

A high-quality proposal from a student that demonstrates some prior experience, capacity, and knowledge is huge in the decision making process. Motivated students can also turn in more than one proposal, which I would encourage. It can be the case that two talented candidates both applied for the same proposal, or that of a candidate's proposals, one fits much better than the other with what folks are looking to sponsor. Cheers, Sterl.
