[Gretl-devel] Re: Gretl GSoC 2009 Ideas Page

[Talha Yalta]

Hi everybody:

We currently have 5 project proposals and having 5 proposals doesn't
mean that all of them will be found interesting to students. As you
can see here:
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Summer_of_Code/2009/Ideas
KDE, for instance, currently has 55 proposals but they will probably
end up having realized only a few of them.

As a result, it would be great if especially those who have
contributed code to Gretl in the past came up with an idea and
considered becoming a mentor. It would also be useful if you express
intention for being a substitute mentor for one or two of the proposed
projects.

I hope everybody thinks as I do that this is something useful for
Gretl, for the mentor, for the student, for everybody.
Cheers
Talha
