... this remembered me another important question. who is determined which projects to include in Google SoC financing? i read the proposals list and was very pleased by final choice of financed projects - it's really what i consider as most important areas for Haskell infrastructure growth - network, installation, byte strings, data structures. the only two projects not supported that was interesting for me, is about optimization - one about adding something to speed up programs compiled by GHC (i don't remember exactly), second - about further development of JHC. why these projects was not selected? it were no students interested or these projects considered as less important? can i next year participate in discussion/election of projects that will be supported?
The applications were reviewed and ranked by a number of mentors who signed up. Paolo wrote to the haskell list in April to announce that haskell.org was a mentoring organisation and to ask for mentors and project ideas. http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell/2006-April/017898.html http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ You are certainly welcome to sign up next year.
