I want to thank all the people who submitted (and keep submitting) ideas for our Google Code-In wiki page: http://wiki.freebsd.org/GoogleCodeIn/2012Tasks In total I got 61 ideas over e-mail from the web form (lessons learnt: for GSOC, we should also have a web form) All of them should be on the Wiki now. I suggest we keep collecting good ideas and try to make sure this years GSOC will be successful. On the other note--NetBSD guys are in Google Code-In.. Thanks, -- Wojciech A.
