Kai Blin posted to the wine-devel mailing list about the kick off of the 2008 Google summer of code. Here is a quote of the email sent by Kai, if your interested in taking part in the summer of code you will need to sign up very soon as Google will be accepting these applications only through March 12, 2008.

Hi folks,

Google announced the 2008 programme today and I wanted to use the opportunity
to talk about the next steps we should take to get ready.

I will start a separate thread to start collecting project ideas, presenting
the ones mentioned on the wiki page [1]. New project ideas are very much
welcome. If any of you feels like mentoring one of the projects, please
mention that. If you're a student with your own project idea, please mention
that as well.

We will then have to discuss if we believe the projects are doable in a Summer
of Code timeframe. When we talked about last year's projects on WineConf, it
was the common opinion that we didn't do a very good job on that for 2007. I
don't have a surefire solution for this, we should try being a bit more
conservative though.

I will add some more documentation to the SoC wiki page, does anybody have a
good idea what we could call the post-mortem analysis? I know this is a
correct technical term, but in my opinion it sounds a bit negative. Lacking a
better alternative, I'd call it review. Can the native speakers come up with
something else?

Maarten, you wrote a wiki page about your 2007 experience. Could you add it to
the "Helpful Links" section?
