The GNUstep project is participating the second time in Google Summer
of Code this year. By participating for the GNUstep project students
get a chance to learn to know the inner workings of a set of
frameworks that closely resemble Cocoa and gain a deeper
understanding of Cocoa this way while getting paid for it.
the possible projects are not limited to that list, if you come up
with something even better it will possibly be accepted.
Google has extended he deadline for application, it is now Monday,
April 7, 2008. (a complete timeline is here: http://code.google.com/
opensource/gsoc/2008/faqs.html#0.1_timeline )
