Although there is still about one hour before Google officially publish the final tally of accepted Summer of Code projects, I think I now can safely reveal the 9 projects chosen for haskell.org, since we have no outstanding conflicts with other mentoring orgs. We received 64 proposals in total. Some students made several proposals. Of those proposals, we wanted to mentor about 22 individual students, but Google only gave us funding for 9, so if you weren't accepted, that doesn't mean your proposal was bad, just that the competition was stiff. Also, the mentors group tended to place language- and community-infrastructure projects at a higher priority than just plain application-oriented libraries. (By the way, several students who applied to haskell.org also applied to other organisations, and may well have been accepted by them instead of us.) So here they are! The list states * project title, * the student who will be funded, * the primary mentor from haskell.org, * and a set of backup mentors who have expressed interest in looking after things too. (These sets may continue to grow.) ----------------------- Darcs Conlict Handling Jason Dagit, David Roundy { Igloo, Patrik Janssen } Hackage Web Interface, Doc-Browser Sascha B?hme, Ross Paterson { Simon Marlow, BryanOS, Bjorn Bringert } Rewrite the typechecker for YHC and nhc98 Mathieu Boespflug, Malcolm Wallace { Neil Mitchell } Cabal Configurations Thomas Schilling, Michael Isaac Jones { Bjorn Bringert, BryanOS, PatrikJ, Simon Marlow, Ross } Update the Hat tracer Kenn Knowles, Malcolm Wallace { PatrikJ, BryanOS } Generalizing Parsec to ParsecT and arbitrary input (ByteStrings) Paolo Martini, Philippa Jane Cowderoy { Don Stewart, Dmitry Astapov, BryanOS, Bjorn Bringert } Shared Libraries for GHC Clemens Fruhwirth, Simon Marlow { BryanOS } HTTP Library Replacement Mieczys?aw B?k, Bryan O'Sullivan { Shae Erisson, Dmitry Astapov, Don Stewart, Bulat Ziganshin, Bjorn Bringert } Extending GuiHaskell: An IDE for Haskell Hackers Asumu Takikawa, Neil David Mitchell { Duncan Coutts, Bulat Ziganshin } ----------------------- Congratulations if you got accepted. Commiserations if you didn't. The official start date of the SoC (when students begin to receive their initial payments) is 28th May. Until then, the students have courses and exams (no doubt), but also (we hope) some time to familiarise themselves with the existing codebase and background of their project. Regards, Malcolm
