Oh, no need to apologize. > Is it usual to have more than one student work on the same project? No, as per Google regulations only one student can work a single project. There may be related projects, but we need to be able to evaluate each students' work individually in order to decide whether he's earned his money. But if you like the idea, you should apply. It may happen that we mentors decide that it's better for Matthew to work on some other project. > I am interested in hearing your suggestions, Well, the Peek project is interesting, but it's quite ground-breaking; it will take longer than 3 months for it to be complete. While we wait for Peek, we could use improvements to the current debugger. I'm CC'ing Stephane, who can give you more details on this. Another idea is to work on Squeak's user interface. We definitively need a reorganization of the menus (world menu and context menus, too). We could also use a reorganization of the preferences. Ciao, Giovanni

Hi Jeffrey, Peek is an idea of Matthew Fullmer, a college student and Squeaker, so he's going to apply for it. But if you like it, you should apply for it anyway, maybe applying for a couple more projects at the same time. If you're interested in working on Squeak's development tools, there are a couple of projects in our ideas list. I can also suggest something else, if you want. Ciao, Giovanni

Just for the record, we already have a load balancing proposal in our list. But you ideas are interesting. And the name is even better! Giovanni

SOC: New IDEs
by Juraj Kubelka 21 Mar '07

21 Mar '07

Hello, I'm a PhD student at Czech Technical University in Prague. I would like to apply for job in Google Summer of Code. The interesting ideas for me are "New IDEs" and "Reimplement IDE Tools in s Structured Way". I have an idea how IDEs should look like and what should offer to programmers (combination of Smalltalk/X IDEs and VisualWorks and something more). As I have found this project I think it is good change to do it in cooperation with mentors (and earn something). So is it possible to think about me? I can write my ideas about better IDE (especially System Browser and Inspector). Thank you in advance. Best regards, Juraj Kubelka

Hi all, this is a friendly reminder to all the students interested in applying for the Google Summer of Code program. The deadline has been postponed to Monday 26th, 23:59 PST. This gives you a little less than 6 days for submitting your application. Nonetheless, you should start submitting your applications. You can always add more details and fix the errors using Google's web app. Giovanni

Hi John, sure, we can add them to our list. In fact they're already at http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5936 . Now what we need is: - two mentors to follow these projects. I need their names, email addresses and google accounts/gmail addresses. - more detailed descriptions for the two projects. I've created two new wiki pages ( http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5970 and http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5971 ) and added a project description template.

Mathieu's application

Hi Mathieu, I see you've asked to delete your application. Is that because you want to rewrite it, or for some other reason? Ciao, Giovanni

a clarification
by stephane ducasse 20 Mar '07

20 Mar '07

Hi I asked damien to propose three different projects because I realized that this would not be good to have two students working on two projects that are really related (the one of andrew and mine). Now I would not like that this plays against damien. Stef
