I'd like to apply for some Mentos. I like mixed fruit or grape. As for Pd, I can't think of something major enough to call for Google SoC, but I'll keep thinking. There are lots of things for which I've created workarounds that I don't think about much anymore. For instance, when searching through a subpatch for one kind of pointer, if I have the outlet for other pointers directed into a "next" message, with a sizable list, I get stack overflows, so I use [del 0], which eliminates the stack overflow but sometimes necessitates another delay later in the chain to prevent the next thing from happening before the list is finished.
Dunno if that's worth a Summer of Code commission though. If it is, I hope at least one of the mentors will fill out the application as "The Freshmaker."

Hallo!
We discussed at the LAC that we would like to apply again this year for google's summer of code project, which is about to start today (http://code.google.com/soc/2008/).
I started a wiki at: http://puredata.info/dev/summer-of-code/GoogleSummerOfCodeIdeas/ where everyone can put in ideas and wishes. Of course you can also write your ideas to the mailinglist for discussion and I will add them afterwards to the wiki.
Every pd developer who wants to support the project but is no student anymore is invited to join as mentor, since the number of sponsored projects by google depends on the number of mentors and students.
So please put in your ideas and apply as mentor and student !
One more question: Who of the mentors would like to make the main communication with google ? Because someone has to fill out the application (the material from last year is also at http://puredata.info/dev/summer-of-code/GoogleSummerOfCodeIdeas/ and http://puredata.info/dev/summer-of-code/SummerOfCode ). I would suggest Hans or IOhannes or anyone else who wants to spend some time with it ;)
LG Georg
