We have about 34 hours until the deadline (2014-02-14T19:00 UTC) . That's not very much time, but I know some people have been thinking about projects for a while, so I have hope that we can put together an ideas page. What we need immediately is: - somebody to be the backup admin (I am assuming I'll be the primary admin, but as always, if somebody else wants to...) - ideas ideas ideas The email I sent out last week generated some response, but what I really need are people to write up full ideas as they would be read by students (and by GSoC personnel who are reading our application). As mentioned in a related thread, I'd really like to avoid just reposting proposals that didn't get any traction in previous years. Tomorrow I'll try to look through some of the links that have been posted, or collect stuff from the list. But I really need other people to contribute, or it's going to be a lame list. I've put the application draft here: http://git.github.io/SoC-2014-Org-Application.html You can make suggestions in this thread, or edit it by cloning: https://github.com/git/git.github.io and post a patch, or send a pull request, or I should be able to give people push access to the repo. It's a bit of an experiment, in the same realm as the wiki we've used in the past. The idea page is there, too, but there's nothing good on it yet: http://git.github.io/SoC-2014-Ideas.html -Peff
