A few project ideas I am not sure if they are feasible for GSoC: * merging-in support for caching in gitweb, and benchmarking/profiling gitweb in high load situation J.H., you would probably want gitweb [output] caching to be merged-in sooner that the end of Google Summer of Code 2011, isn't it? * embedding graphical diff and graphical merge tool in git-gui, e.g. as "git gui diff". I think that we can use xxdiff; the license is compatibile. Pat and Shawn, is it something worth doing? Does it look like a good project for GSoC2011, or is it too small of a project for this? Would we be able to find mentor for this idea? * splitting gitk, common library (Tcl/Tk bindings) for gitk and git-gui Pat and Paul, do you think it is right scope, or is it too large project to put as an GSoC idea? -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git
