- remove SoC marker from items which are not taken in the current SoC
- remove the "suitable" from the SoC markup and replace it with being
a part of
- update TMPFS (some people are working on it), pluggable disk schedulers
(additional info) and umem (available in ports)
listed.
Also, remove the now out of date information about potential mentors,
project ideas, and FAQ about the program. The main summerofcode page
now just links to the 2007 page or the previous 2005 and 2006 pages.
1) Collect the pkg-message output in dependencies and display it after the
build finish
2) Parallelization of the Ports Collection (this one is suitable as SoC
project)
3) UPDATING parser, kind of a junior task
4) portupgrade in base thing
Discussed with: cperciva and others
Also change technical contact for COMPAT_43TTY task to Ed Maste, who's actively
working on it.
utility." cperciva acts as technical contact for the freebsd-update part of
the project, but it would be nice to have someone with experience from
writing GNOME/KDE applications as a technical contact/mentor as well.

extract ideas from the ideas list which include the class='soc'
attribute. Display the title of those projects which are deemed
suitable for summer of code projects and then link to the ideas page
for the full description, technical contacts, requirements, etc.
source and extract and display the projects listed here in multiple
ways. For example, those projects that are suitable for summer of
code can be designated with an attribute and then extracted to
automatically be displayed on the summer of code pages, so that we
only have to maintain one list instead of two.
Correct a typo in one of the idea descriptions while here.

projects (based on discussions with netchild and rwatson):
- AutoFS: Adam Martin has been working on this since Google SoC 2006 and it
looks like we will see an implementation announced soon.
- Magic symlinks: Several implementations exists, so we don't need more
people looking at this right now.
- Tarfs: Eric Anderson is already working on this in p4.
- ZFS: No need to have this here, pjd has been hacking on ZFS for FreeBSD
for quite some time now.
- Cam layer locking: My understanding is that scottl is about to commit
his locking work to CVS soon.
- FPU subsystem overhaul: Not suitable as a Google SoC project.
- Linuxulator: We already have several committers (netchild, jkim, kib)
and past SoC students (Roman Divacky) working on this, so remove it
from the list.
- Process Checkpointing: Not suitable as a Google SoC project.
- Flight mode: Does not belong on the list. benjsc has implemented
this functionality (not yet committed though).
- Zeroconf: Already available on the Networking wiki page.
- NSS/LDAP/HESIOD/NIS/YP: Michael Bushkov did this as part of
Google SoC 2006 so this isn't suitable for Google SoC 2007. Not
committed yet.
More to come...
