Re: [XBoard-devel] GTK Developer needed - GSOC 2014 regarding

[Tim Mann]

GNU usually participates in GSOC. I don't really know any details, but
discussions about it go by on the GNU maintainers mailing list and
sometimes I read them.

Looking back there, I see this is the place to put ideas:
http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas-2014.html. There are
instructions near the bottom on how to submit ideas. The second bullet
is for GNU maintainers. I think Arun and I are officially
co-maintainers, so he should probably send the mail. (Or I could, but
I'm vacationing with my sister right now and would have problems doing
anything promptly.)
