Mariano,
As Stephane mentionned, my proposal is quite close the a prexisting one related to parcel and fast code loading. I would live we merge those two proposal in one better proposal. I don't like much duplication when resources is quite limited. Do you think it is possible?
Yes, it is possible to merge. It is also possible to merge it after. I mean, once we get selected (if that happens), you can merge it. I tell you this so that not to loose too much time. On the other hand, if you want to do it now, perfect. Talk to Stef and send me a merged version and I upload the site. Cheers Mariano

Hi folks. We have been working hard with Janko and we built a website for the GSoC 2010 and for future editions!
The URL is http://gsoc2010.esug.org/
In 4 days, is the deadline to submit ESUG as mentoring organization. For that purpose, there are several questions that we need to answer, as you can read here:
http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2010/faqs#o...
This is the most important step. If we get selected, then we have project, and we will have to vote which projects to select and finally select students...but all that is ONLY if we are selected as mentoring organization. Last year Squeak wasn't so this year will be hard. We really appreciate any feedback you can give us so that we can achieve this goal. Basically we should demonstrate that we have a big community, with several interesting projects and with mentors and students that are willing to do it.
Our first version of those answer are here: http://gsoc2010.esug.org/application.html
Please, send feedback.
The ideas page is necessary. For this, it would be cool to have several projects. With this we can show that the community is big. Of course, we cannot put projects that has no sense. But don't be shy to submit. We are ALL smalltalk dialects and even Newspeak. Right now there are 13 projects but I think there can be much more. In squeak 2007 there were like 20, and now we are all dialects together. Note that a project doesn't need to be cross dialect. You can propose a project that apply only to one dialect. I cannot take the time to write each proposal...so, if you have a project, right the title, description, technical details, benefits to the student and benefits to the community. Otherwise will be probably ignored.
It would be cool to have all mentors already selected for the 12th so that we can demonstrate that we are really willing to do it and that we already have mentors for all projects. Even more, it would be fantastic if there can be mentors or co-mentors.
As you can see in the ideas link, there are ideas that are not even complete. No text. Again...if someone want to do it, excellent. Otherwise, they will have to be removed.
Now...a personal question...do you think we have enough students to take care about the projects? what is your opinion ?
That's all for the moment...please, if you have questions, just ASK!!!
4 days.....
Cheers
Mariano
