Google Summer of Code - Again

[Craig Dillabaugh via Digitalmars-d]

It seems like its been too long since I posted asking for GSOC 
help.

The start of submissions for the 2015 Google Summer of Code is 
fast approaching,
so once again I would like to approach the community for some 
assistance. My immediate needs are:

1) I need a volunteer for 'backup' administrator.  This is a 
requirement, so I really
need someone to volunteer for this position, which with a little 
luck will require
exactly 0 work, and will bring you great honour and prestige.


2) DigitalMars is listed as the mentoring orgnaization.  Should 
we register rather
as dlang.org?

3) QML.  The QML project is very thin, and unless it can be 
improved it will
need to be dropped.  Recently there was a QML project posted on 
the Announce list:

http://forum.dlang.org/thread/hapeegrotkazppwdnstk@forum.dlang.org

This might be a good starting point for a student project, if the 
developer of
this project is interested in mentoring, but I haven't been able 
to get a hold of
him/her. Does anyone know how to get in touch with 'filcuc'.

4) Extra polishing is welcome on any of the ideas sections.  In 
particular I
wanted to have a "It is Good To Know" section indicating what 
students should
know (or be expected to learn).  Some of these are fairly well 
filled out,
others are non-existant or sparse.  The ideas page is at:

http://wiki.dlang.org/GSOC_2015_Ideas


5) If you are a mentor, I've tried to make a bio's page for 
mentors. It can
be seen here:

http://wiki.dlang.org/GSOC_mentors

If you are a mentor please consider filling your bio out.  I've 
dug up stuff
off the web/old D Conf bio's, etc on a few of you, but it would 
be nice if folks
could edit their own.

6) We could still use maybe one (or two) more solid ideas.  If 
you are working
on some cool project related to the D ecosystem, and think a 
student could help you (and you could help
them) we could maybe add your idea to the list.  Especially if we 
end up
dropping QML.

7) If we are approved we will need to form a committee to 
evaluate the student
proposals that will undoubtedly flood in ...  any volunteers for 
that duty!  It should likely include the mentors, but they might 
be biased, so some folks outside the mentors group would be nice.
