Add GSoC 2019 project descriptions #42

Closed wilzbach closed 1 year ago

wilzbach commented 5 years ago

Not complete yet as I'm waiting for the other students to give their permissions about publishing their full proposal and improving/updating their roadmaps.

Motivation: publishing the full GSoC student proposal as this should greatly help everyone to know what our students will be working on over the summer. Also, I think it's nice to have an archive of them for historic purposes and future students.

Individual projects: https://github.com/dlang/projects/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Agsoc19

PDF is not a nice format for delta revisions like git, can we rip the text out and turn it into markdown?

We could, but these documents aren't intended to be modified / updated. They are the proposal for the individual projects.

and improving/updating their roadmaps.

?? Maybe its too late at night for me.

Probably only students would update the docs. We use google docs that a very nice for comments and nitpicks.

For the history purpose, we can ask them to write a final report in Markdown. I think they will look better and will be more informative comparing with the proposals.

This is the initial snapshot of their proposals. As Ilya mentioned the students will keep their more up to date versions of the roadmaps in Google Doc (or other forms) and also post the monthly goals on the mailing list.

Yes a final report is definitely on the list (and even required by Google). The idea is to publish the final report (or a condensed version) on the official D Blog for good exposure.

closing this as it is no longer actual.
