GSoC 2012 - Idea Page is freeze - 27 Ideas, under 8 categories

[Buddhike Kurera]

Dear Mentors and Contributors,

As google-melange.com indicates there is less than 4 days remaining,
students to submit their proposals.

However as informed the idea page is freeze now. This ensures that
every student is treated fair.We
didnot notice any new idea with in the soft-freeze period. Therefore
the idea list looks as it was before
the student application period opened.

Still if you believe that you have an idea that is worth forwarding
for Summer Coding, please use the GSoC 2013
idea page[1] (Tentative Place holder). The admins for GSoC 2013 will
take care of your valued idea.
