As no doubt you’re already aware, the Google Summer of Code is an annual event where students can work on Open Source projects, and Google throws in a little money to help both the project and the student.
This year, 180 projects were accepted, and we’re delighted and very proud to report that 32 of those projects were SourceForge projects, for a total of 18% of the whole.
SourceForge projects featured in the list are shown below. If we somehow overlooked your project, please be sure to let us know (communityteam@sourceforge.net).

SWIG
SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in C and C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages. SWIG is used with different types of target languages including common scripting languages such as Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl and Ruby. The list of supported languages also includes non-scripting languages such as C#, Common Lisp (CLISP, Allegro CL, CFFI, UFFI), D, Go language, Java, Lua, Modula-3, OCAML, Octave and R. Also several interpreted and compiled Scheme implementations (Guile, MzScheme/Racket, Chicken) are supported. SWIG is most commonly used to create high-level interpreted or compiled programming environments, user interfaces, and as a tool for testing and prototyping C/C++ software. SWIG is typically used to parse C/C++ interfaces and generate the ‘glue code’ required for the above target languages to call into the C/C++ code. SWIG can also export its parse tree in the form of XML and Lisp s-expressions.
