Great - I've put these all up on the wiki along with GitTorrent, and noted Julian Phillips as a possible mentor for the git-svnserver. I'll again point out that I wrote a plan for this effort at http://utsl.gen.nz/git/git-svnserver.txt - though that may be becoming more and more irrelevant. =46unnily enough, I'm actually a possible /student/ this year - I'm studying full-time this year - not in Computer Science, but hey that's not a requirement ;-), and perhaps finishing my GitTorrent implementation in my breaks would be a nice way to earn US$5k. It woul= d be contrary to all of the "goals" of the programme=B9, bar the first. = I'd have to get the work done on a slightly different schedule because of the hemispherical term difference... but possible. Would this be an abuse of the programme. I leave the moral question open to the list; I can easily find paid contracting work over the time anyway. But this would be *fun* :-) Sam. =B9 http://code.google.com/soc/2008/faqs.html#0.1_goals
