I started working on it. http://git.github.io/SoC-2015-Org-Application/ => the application itself. Mostly cut-and-paste from last year, but the questions have changed a bit. There's a "Remarks on the current state of the application" section at the end for stuff I wasn't sure about. This is the urgent part, we won't have an opportunity to modify it after the deadline. Less urgent, but we need to add more stuff to be credible: http://git.github.io/SoC-2016-Ideas/ => Ideas page. I removed the completed project, and updated some other to reflect the current state of Git. I think "Convert scripts to builtins" is still feasible this year, but probably harder (we can't say "start with git-pull.sh" anymore ...). Johannes: you're still interested I guess? http://git.github.io/SoC-2016-Microprojects/ => I just did s/2015/2016/. I think most projects are not valid anymore, and we need new ones. To all: please contribute to these pages, either by sending patches here (CC: me and peff), pushing directly if you have access, or submitting pull-requests. The repo is https://github.com/git/git.github.io/. Thanks, -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
