[Unison-hackers] GSoC for unison?

[Sylvain Le Gall]

Hello all,

Christophe and I are trying to coordinate OCaml community efforts to be
accepted as mentor organization for this year GSoC.

I think unison team can get some precious help from student through this
kind of summer project. If some of you are willing to be sponsors, add
your name to the mentors list:
https://forge.ocamlcore.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/gsoc-team/index.php/Main_Page

Maybe the unison project can run its own GSoC mentoring organization,
but I think we can benefit from a partnership.

If we have enough mentors and proposals, this will ease Google
acceptance of our mentor organization.

Cheers
Sylvain

Dear OCaml developers,

Google Summer of Code has been announced and we think that the OCaml
Community should participate to this event. We have setup a project on
the OCaml Forge to coordinate our effort.

We invite all students and would-be mentors to visit our wiki:
https://forge.ocamlcore.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/gsoc-team/index.php/Main_Page

- If you are willing to be a mentor, you can make proposal (this will
  only be "draft" proposal, until one student pick it) and put the
  name on the mentor list:
  https://forge.ocamlcore.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/gsoc-team/index.php/Main_Page#Contact

- Students that would like to join can contact mentors of draft
  proposals or make new one and discuss them with possible mentors:
  https://forge.ocamlcore.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/gsoc-team/index.php/GSoC2011/Applying

The first step we will have to pass is to have Google accept the OCaml
Community as a Mentoring organization.  To reach this goal, ideas are
welcome.  Some documents are available on this topic here:
http://www.google-melange.com/  We also have put online a first
version of our answers to Google questions (to be completed) :

Best regards,
C. Troestler and S. Le Gall
