Google Summer Of Code

[Waldemar Kornewald]

Hi,
it's time to add Slate to the project list. That would be a great chance
to get the compiler and maybe even the UI finished.

Bye,
Waldemar

[Brian Rice]

Agreed, but there are less ambitious projects that would be equally
rewarding. I'll start forming something for that. Thanks.

Ouch! I read that as being for May 1st. I'll try to submit *something*
tonight for it. Thanks for pointing that out.

Further pain: due to poor/inconsistent/ridiculously-expensive WiFi  
coverage, I was unable to get this out in time. We'll see if my  
submission was accepted, although I heard from other Smalltalkers  
that Squeakers tried it last year and were rejected (the presumption  
was that the project has to be relatively mainstream, although that's  
hearsay).

The word is "no". It looks like they prune projects that are late  
automatically just to cut the selection size down.

I should say, however:

That said, the short whitepaper I wrote up is going to get turned  
into a prospectus for student academic credit for projects, via some  
links I have with the University of Washington. There do seem to be  
some interested students already.

Of course, I'll release it publicly for re-use once it's in decent  
shape (after feedback from the local prof's).
