Google Summer of Code 2012

[Giuseppe Scrivano]

Hello,

I was going trough the list of ideas we had for the Google Summer of
Code 2011.

Is this list http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/SummerOfCode2011/Ideas still
valid?  Could you please create a new page "SummerOfCode2012"?

Maintainers can contact me off-list.

Thanks,
Giuseppe

The page still seems reasonably up to date. You can also check the
ProjectIdeas page for more ideas. One area that's usually perceived
as fun and exciting is our Python support. A lot of advances have been
made in that department, so do check with us if you're interested in
working in that area. We'll also need to make sure we can find you
a mentor before we apply, because I am not sure about everyone's
schedule this summer (I already know I will be extra busy).

Ref: "Support pipes in the run command"

I am CCing Abhijit, the guy who has an implementation for the pipe
support inside GDB.  As far as I remember, the patch has not yet been
accepted, but it has been heavily reviewed and I think is very close to
be pushed upstream.  If this is correct, then you might want to remove
that item from the list.

Any new on this?  We sent the GNU application to SoC today.  Abhijit,
shall we remove that item from the ideas page?
