Hi all,  
Are there any students that are interested in doing some work on  
IronPython/IronRuby/DLR for this year’s Google Summer of Code? I’d  
like to make sure there’s enough interest before I commit to putting  
together an application.

The current suggested projects list is at [IronLanguages Ideas for GSoC 2011](http://bit.ly/g7YhPT) but  
feel free to add more!

- Jeff

Hi Afriza,  
It appears that you are right - for some reason I thought mentoring  
orgs had to show that there was student interest before applying, but  
that doesn’t seem to be the case.

I’m still going to send in the application and see what happens.
