Getting GSoC candidates oriented

[Giovanni Gherdovich]

Hi all,

just to make sure that no-one misses a beat thru the flow of patches in the
list,
I am re posting Pierre-Yves message with all candidates
that have expressed interest so far explicitly in CC
(I went thru the mail archives of April and CTRL-Fed 'gsoc')

those are:

Iulian Stana (command server)
Ankur Ankan (Advanced Revset Optimization)
Tabibel Sami (command server)
Claudiu Olteanu (command server)

message from Pierr-Yves just an hour ago:

I invite you guys to put your name & favourite project in the wiki page.
Ankur has already done this, as well as submitting
a tentative patch earlier today, spotting a bug that marmoute signaled on
IRC yesterday
(nicely done Ankur!)

I hope I don't step over anybody if I repost what Matt wrote earlier in
March here:

of course as an outsider who wish to be mentor, I am subjected to
the same kind of review by this community, and have already started my bug
hunt at
http://bz.selenic.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=keyword%3Aeasy to prove that
I am myself able to jump in and write some useful code.

Cheers,
