See the official GSoC FAQ and timelines.

The Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a program that helps students getting an experience of contributing to some free software project. Darcs has been participating for several years to this program as a way to 1) enable existing contributors to dedicate fully to darcs for a few months, and also 2) enable students to have an experience in a free software organization.

Check out the student guide to know what you’re getting into.

You can find some ideas for a Google Summer of Code student project on the projects page of this website.

Note that these themes are just to get you started. We welcome submissions beyond these initial ideas. Get in touch with us! darcs-users@darcs.net or #darcs on freenode.

All of these projects require good Haskell skills. We trust and appreciate students who have contributed to darcs before applying :-)
