GSoC projects list

[Urs Liska]

Hi all,

I'm somewhat worried about LilyPond's GSoC project proposals list. Right
now I'm purging the web page
(http://lilypond.org/google-summer-of-code.html) from projects without
mentors, and I have the feeling when this process is completed we're
left with an unsatisfactory state.

>From the 9 projects that are listed at the time of writing this post
four are right now scheduled for removal:

  * Grace notes
  * Improving default beam positioning
  * Improving compilation behaviour
  * Improve Slurs and Ties

A fifth project, MusicXML export, is still unclear.

So essentially per now we will have only 4/5 projects left:

  * Improving internal chord structure
  * Adopting SMuFL
  * Adding glyph variants
  * openLilyLib testing and documentation

I find this list quite disappointing, and I'm afraid it won't be
terribly attractive to potential students. So I strongly encourage
anybody to suggest further projects, preferably together with a pledge
to mentor them.

Best
Urs
