A bit late but finally I have propose the ideas.

Only three ideas are selected and proposed.

The plans seems good to me.

Maybe you can foward them to GNU to include in the GSoC campain

Some remarks/improvements/suggestions:

1) bibliographic tools: connection with Zotero would be nice to have. I 
personally use it and is a free bibliographic tool with a wide user base.

2) Port to scheme 2-3 is done :) I'm doing the last tuning but essentially 
(from yesterday) I have a version of TeXmacs which works with Guile 3 both in 
interpreted and compiled mode. So I would remove this from the tasks.

3) It would be very important to us to have a nice and polished interface to 
jupyter kernels. So this task can be made more prominent. You can hint to the 
fact that we have already a bare-bones jupyter client plugin.

4) GUI. Qt5 port is almost ready, we wait Joris to release TeXmacs 2.1.  Here I 
see the possibility to develop other ports like to Cocoa  or a native Windows 
port. More generally would be interesting to have a common way to interface 
TeXmacs with modern GUI APIs.

5) An Haiku port of TeXmacs. www.haiku-os.com is a very intersting operating 
system and also on GSoC this year.

6) Write documentation/ tutorials.

7)  A nice feature to have is a preview on links: when the cursor hovers a link 
a window is opened which renders a portion of area around the place the link 
points to. It is useful to check references/

8) In general references in TeXmacs could have some love: we lack now the 
ability to search for all occurences of a reference or replace them. This could 
be improved.

Sorry, for the late reply. Working at home spends me more time on work and I 
have less personal time than usual.

## My Opinion

Currently, no active students contacted me to join the Summer of Code.

I hope there are self-motivated students. It would be better if they are more 
interested in TeXmacs itself than GSoC.

If there are students who join the development of GNU TeXmacs actively, I'd 
like to propose some ideas.

## Ideas prepared for GSoC 2019

Last year, I wrote some ideas on Github:

https://github.com/texmacs/tsoc/blob/master/docs/GSoC2019.md

I didn't realize that we should submit our ideas to the GNU umbrella GSoC last 
year.

What about this?
Darcy, are you willing to propose some projects to be presented under the GNU 
umbrella GSoC?

Hi people!

Google just notified us that the GNU Project has been, once again,
accepted as a mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code 2020.

Note that Google won't make the list of accepted projects public until
today February 20 at 19:00 CET, but we shall be ready in order to start
getting requests from interested students.

So, please be on the ready :)

Also, please note that it is still possible for more GNU programs to
participate under the GNU umbrella: just send us ideas to
address@hidden (for each idea/project, include a paragraph
describing it, skills required, and a contact address for interested
students) and we will add them to our ideas page.

Salud!
