Hello everyone, Following my call for GSoC would-be mentors we got exactly one offer, from Russell Winder. Thanks! (There has been no response whatsoever on the czardom position.) Needless to say, if we don't have a good pool of mentors we'll be forced to retract our GSoC submission. Walter and I are are also in crunch mode reviewing DConf submissions (subject of an upcoming post). I am overdue on reviewing a new book proposal on D literally today. All of this takes away from other high scrutiny work that we are, rightly or wrongly, perceived as the bottleneck of. "Everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die," the saying goes. There has been lively debate recently in this forum about how our community can organize itself better, during which there was no shortage of advice regarding things that should be done. Now here we are - laid as bare as it gets in front of us all is an opportunity for each and every one of us to make a large and positive impact on the future of D. There's no better opportunity to act on an obviously good chance to push the D language further. I'll make tonight an executive decision about our participation to GSoC this year. A strong GSoC leader would be fantastic. At the very minimum we need a handful of mentors. Your turn. Andrei

AndreiI would love to help someone with their project, but I don't really know how the mentoring system works. If expertise in any of the suggested GSoC ideas are required, then it's quite difficult to volunteer. Of the ones listed though, I do feel I could support a std.i18n project to some degree.

Also std.benchmark. std.units is interesting, too. A linear algebra library aka std.numeric.matrix is probably bigger but not less interesting. Count me in on any on these. BTW these are mentioned on older GSoC pages. Jens
