[tug-summer-of-code] TeX-related projects from other organisations

[Jonathan Fine]

Hello

There are other GSOC organisations that have TeX-related projects. Some
are listed here (which is also an expression of the simple optimism I
had at that time).

I'd like us to work closer this year with related mentoring
organisations and, when the time comes, projects.

Arthur: As project administrator for TUG, I think you're best placed
to get this going. A simple trawl through the 2008 list of mentoring
organisations might provide a good start.

Hello Jonathan,

I remember there were, in 2008, and I'm willing to communicate with
the organisations involved and to exchange ideas, but I'd say this is a
bit too early to identify them. Of all the non-TUG-related projects you
list in your blog entry, only the Abiword project is specifically
related to TeX, and I'm in doubt whether this means they will have a
similar project this year. I will be attentive to what happens of
course, but it seems premature to look for them now (I couldn't find
anything relating to GSoC 2009 on the Abiword wiki, for example). Let's
wait until the accepted organizations are announced, so that we can
browse their ideas page.
