@alexmiller: is there a list somewhere of projects that were undertaken and their final status?

from previous years?

@jonahbenton: You can get an overview of the projects on the official gsoc site: https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org2/google/gsoc2015/clojure.

What does the tooling category means? I've been playing around on building a distributed load testing tool using Clojure. I think it's rather interesting topic to research & I've got some basic functionality already there: https://github.com/mhjort/clojider. However, it is not related to tooling on how to write Clojure better (IDE etc.). If that's the purpose with tooling category...

might any clojure west submitters- accepted or no- be potential candidates for projects/mentors?

@mhjort the categories are not set in stone, we just copied them over from last year

http://dev.clojure.org/display/community/Project+Ideas+2015

for more context

have all the projects from 2015 been accepted in the last edition?

@anmonteiro: no the project ideas are most about idea generation

for ClojureScript I usually weigh in on what I think needs work

but pretty anyone can step and be a mentor

and propose an idea they’d like to mentor as well

I'm not sure if these apply, but some ideas regarding ClojureScript would be: - anything that's currently missing in bootstrapped CLJS? I'm not sure of the status of it so this might not be a good candidate if all that's remaining is minor bug fixes - the other day in #C03S1L9DN someone mentioned support for ES6; is this something that is supposed to be pursued now?

@anmonteiro: sure you can definitely propose a bootstrapped project - the important thing is that projects need mentors

I probably would not mentor such a project myself since there’s enough interest floating around there to either produce a mentor - or for that project to evolve without further help from myself

most of the things I propose are specifically projects that are too challenging without guidance

I'm looking at this from the perspective of a would-be participant

Mentoring sure seems nice, but I'd like to participate as a student before doing that

I understand

@anmonteiro: the ES6 class thing is also interesting - but I don’t really think it’s worth pursuing yet

it’s better if projects are driven by some real need or demand - and that just doesn’t pass muster yet

http://dev.clojure.org/display/community/Project+Ideas+2016

understood. As someone who's interested in applying, I'm interested in seeing Clojure up there

I added couple more things this morning

thus trying to come up with something

core.async, and core.match - both hard projects that have languished which would benefit from the focus of GSoC
