I found the project list again:
http://code.google.com/soc/2008/squeak/about.html
* Safarà: an Extensible Code Editor for Squeak
by Luigi Panzeri, mentored by Lukas Renggli
* Squeak IRC bot framework
by Francois Stephany, mentored by Kenneth Lee Causey
* Squeak GTK Support
by Gwenaël Casaccio, mentored by Stéphane Ducasse
* freeCAD: 3D CAD with Motion Simulation Port to Croquet
by Phua Khai Fong, mentored by Aik-Siong Koh
* OpenNARS port to Squeak using Seaside
by Cédrick Béler, mentored by Klaus D. Witzel
Can I encourage every mentor to send a short status report on the
results of their project?
Cheers,
- Andreas
