Yi Google summer of code project
Hello, I'm interested in doing some improvments on the Yi editor for my Google summer of code by implementing a completion pop up list for any buffer and a smart completion for haskell. But I don't really know if this kind of project could be acceptable, for the following reason: 1) Should a GSoC project be mostly a working experience or also a learning one? I am not the most seasoned haskell programmer, but I really which to dive into a real-life project in this language. 2) Is it too long, too small? I don't have too many years of programmation in haskell behind me even if I have done some functionnal programming in other languages (Scala most of the time), hence I don't want to take something that will be overwhelming. 3) is Yi associated with haskell.org or it is not possible to have a project on Yi while being mentored by haskell? Thanks for your insight!

Hello again, I forgot to ask if I need to find myself a mentor or one will be assigned to me by haskell.org? Many thanks, Bastien On 4/21/13 5:57 PM, Bastien Jacot-Guillarmod wrote:

Generally, for a successful proposal you need to already find someone who is willing to mentor the project. Honestly, I do not think working on Yi would make for a very strong proposal. It is definitely a cool piece of software, and definitely worth working on, but it does not have a very large userbase and so the benefit of this project to the Haskell community would be small. -Brent On Mon, Apr 22, 2013 at 02:12:02PM -0400, Gmail wrote:
