I know Angel tried to get this going last year and it didn't go very far. Let's try to change that this year.
Here is the starting page from last year: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code
What we need from us: * Ideas added to the page that are more than one word. Add what you can, but at some point, these likely need to be paragraph-long descriptions of a project that potential students can look at and apply for.
here is one awesome idea: * single authentication database.
* Mentors. I can't stress this enough. I think this is why this fell down last year, but doing this is huge, because for a small investment of our time, we get a large investment of student time.
I plan on flushing out the pacman section a bit more after consulting with my fellow pacman devs and looking at our future roadmap and bug reports. Please add any and all project ideas you can think of to the list, and we can worry about cleaning it up later, as we aren't having to submit anything to Google yet.
