I'm not exactly sure who the best person to send this idea to would be, so I am just sending it to this list. My apologies if it does not belong on here. Google just announced their 2006 Summer of Code, and they are looking for mentor organizations. I am going to apply, and I would really love to work on something Ruby-related, such as Typo, and I'm sure there are other people with the same attitude. I am not exactly sure of the rules for organizations, but I think it would at least be worth looking into. Here is the link to the Mentor FAQ: http://code.google.com/soc/mentorfaq.html Thanks, --Tyler Prete P.S. I see that as of today, Ruby Central has registered as an organization, and is looking for ideas and mentors. I'm not sure if Typo could/would want to go through them but it is an idea.
Typo as a Google Summer of Code project?

I can help with this, but I don't have a clue what the rules are fororganizations. I can ask around inside of Google if I need to. Atthe very least, the sponsoring organization needs to exist as a legalentity, because they get paid $500 per project that is completed. Worst-case, Google itself can sponsor the project and I can act as amentor. If anyone has any good project ideas that would be good for asummer's worth of programming, let me know. Although, frankly, I suspect that someone could start from scratch andre-implement all of Typo in less time then that :-).

Hi, I think you should check out the eligibility requirements for mentor organizations via the mentor faq at http://code.google.com/soc/mentorfaq.html#5 - As far as I am aware the organization need not be a non-profit or even an organization (an individual qualifies as a mentor organization).

Hi Tyler, I'd be delighted to see some work done on Typo (this is the engine I use for my blog). I think it would be easier if you applied through rubycentral. It would be good to have all the summer of code ruby projects gathered by rubycentral. David Black created a page to gather proposals, you should add yours there. http://www.rubycentral.org/soc2006/ P@
