GSoC project ideas

[Maxim Kuvyrkov <maxim dot kuvyrkov at linaro dot org>]

Hi,

GCC has applied as a mentoring organization to GSoC 2014, and we need to update Project Ideas page: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode .  Ideas is where GSoC starts, and this is what captures attention and imagination of prospective students (and future developers!) of GCC.

If you have an idea for a student project -- post it at http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode .  If you can't easily edit the wiki directly, feel free to send your ideas to me directly or as a reply to this thread, I will add them to the wiki.

You don't have to commit to be a mentor for an idea that you post.  We will worry about finding mentors once a student expresses interest in a particular idea.

You don't have to be an active GCC developer to post an idea.  If you are an experienced GCC user and you wanted all your life a feature X in GCC -- post an idea about it.

If you are a prospective GSoC student -- then we definitely want to hear your ideas.

We need the ideas page all updated and ready by the end of February (couple of weeks left).  Student applications period opens on March 10th, and keep in mind that students would need to meditate on the various projects/ideas/choices for a week or so.

For GSoC 2014 timeline see https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2014 .

Thank you,
