Hello!
Should we submit a project for GSoC? There’s some info regarding GNU’s
participation at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/summer-of-code/2013-02/threads.html>.
(I have zero experience with GSoC, though.)
One project that would be suitable, because it’s orthogonal and
challenging yet doable, is some sort of a Hydra rewrite in Guile.
Thoughts?
Ludo’.

I don't have any experience with GSoC either, but I'm wondering whether
Google will allow us to submit a list of projects since Guix is a really
young project. Does every project have to apply on its own, or can GNU
apply ?

How hard is it to port Guix to other architectures ? Could this be a
GSoC project ? How about packaging a huge piece of software (I'm
thinking about GNOME/KDE, for instance) ?

GNU is applying as an organization, so this would be under GNU’s umbrella.

Until we have cross-compilation it’s tedious. But that’s not
sufficiently motivating or ambitious for GSoC, IMO.

Yes, sounds like a good idea.

Actually, I wondered if this was sufficiently ambitious and motivating...

Of course that’s questionable. :-) It’s surely less motivating than a
Hydra-like thing.

Hello!
News: the deadline to apply under the GNU umbrella is March 25th.
Details at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas-2013.html
Would anyone like to submit a more concrete proposal, and possibly
volunteer to mentor it? I could do it, but it’s even better if somebody
else does.

Another idea: integration with GNUnet to publish the user-built binaries
on the DHT, and allow them to be retrieved (via the substituter
mechanism).
