Pavan Kumar Sunkara sent an email on the git mailing list a few days ago about his GSoC proposal: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/144658/ His proposal is based on the project he already started: http://github.com/pkumar/gittor There have been discussions about it on the GSoC web app and in some private emails. Possible GSoC mentors for this proposal don't want yet another web interface, they want an existing interface to be improved on. As the obvious choice is to improve gitweb, the current result from the discussions is that the proposal should be changed so that the integrated web client is developed in Perl into or alongside gitweb. Pavan agreed to rewrite his proposal according to that and Petr and myself volunteered to co-mentor him. It was suggested that improving Gitalist (http://wiki.catalystframework.org/wiki/gitalist) would be a better choice. But this was rejected because Gitalist is too much different from gitweb so it could not replace it for many people now using gitweb. Best regards, Christian.
