Emacs/Lisp-related projects for Google Summer of Code with PlanetMath

[Joe Corneli <jcorneli@planetmath.org>]

With only one week left to prepare an application in time for Google's
student application deadline, I realize I'm getting this out a bit
late, but nevertheless --

I thought it worthwhile to announce that PlanetMath is listed by
Google as a mentoring organization for this year's Summer of Code,
which means that if you're a student and you can come up with a
convincing-enough proposal, you can get paid good money ($4500USD) to
work on free software this summer (specifically, I'm plugging
PlanetMath, but there are other mentoring organizations).

PlanetMath's brainstormed list of projects is at

I'd like to specifically draw your attention to the three open-ended
items on the "Math Hacking Track",
                                                                                                                                               
* Work on some part of the Arxana Xandu-like collaborative authorship
  system (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.sources/1713).

* Parsing "natural language" math, written in LaTeX, into
  computer-friendly math written in LISP.

* Developing proof-checking (and proof-authoring) tools that operate
  using the language mentioned above.

Please get in touch with me via email or the above-mentioned wiki if
you're interested in any of these projects.
