Re: [Bug-zile] [gnu-prog-discuss] GNU at Google Summer of Code 2014 - submit project ideas!

[Gary V. Vaughan]

Hi Reuben,

Sure, it would be an awesome way to raise our visibility -- even if no one 
actually picks up a project.

I have a pretty detailed TODO for Lua Zile from which I could cherry pick some 
interesting mini-projects. How complex are the proposals supposed to be?  I 
assume a month or two of inexperienced developer time at the most?  And at 
least a few weeks...

And if someone wants to pick up something from my Zile TODO, I would of course 
be delighted to mentor them in exchange.

Cheers,
Gary
