[Swig-user] SWIG accepted to Google Summer of Code 2008

[William S F. <ws...@fu...>]

Just to let everyone know that SWIG has been accepted on to the Google 
Summer of Code. I'd like to thank Google for accepting our application 
as well as Olly Betts and John Lenz for joining me as mentors. 
Collectively we hope to take on 3 students and would like to ask all 
potential students to discuss any ideas they might on the mailing list. 
The ideas page is at 
http://www.dabeaz.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DeveloperInfo/GoogleSummerOfCode, 
and we are very interested in any ideas, so please don't confine your 
thinking to just those on the ideas wiki page. Amongst the few criteria 
for choosing student's proposals, we will choose those which will most 
realistically be completed and those which have community backing, so 
I'd urge any members of the SWIG community to make your voice heard. 
Please welcome and assist any potential students in finding their way 
around.

Here is part of the Google announcement:

"We've just announced the list of accepted mentoring organizations 
<http://code.google.com/opensource/gsoc/2008/faqs.html#0.1_org_is> for 
Google Summer of Code™ 2008, and you can check out more details for each 
of them on the program home page <http://code.google.com/soc/2008/>. 
After reviewing over 500 applications, we finally narrowed our selection 
to 175 Free and Open Source projects."
