[Angstrom-devel] Google Summer of Code ideas for Angstrom

[Jacob Thebault-Spieker]

I sent a preliminary message to the OE list, and it didn't seem to be 
very good feedback. From what I saw, it didn't sound like anyone on the 
OE side of things was that interested in having a GSoC project... 
Perhaps because there aren't that many 'googly' type of projects that OE 
needs done.

Should I just make a new page on the wiki?
