Welcome Anurag and Chinmay, Mercurial GSoC students 2014

[Giovanni Gherdovich]

Hi all,

again this year we'll have two students contributing to Mercurial with
grants from the "Google Summer of Code" program:

* Anurag Goel, anurag_goel on IRC, will work on improvements to the
Mercurial testing framework
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/SummerOfCode/Ideas2014#Improvement_of_the_testing_tool_and_testing_annotation
mentored by Kevin Bullock (TheMystic)
Anurag will blog at http://anuragiiith.blogspot.fr/

* Chinmay Joshi, cnj on IRC, will work on the support for unicode filenames
in Windows
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/SummerOfCode/Ideas2014#Unicode_filename_support_on_Windows
mentored by Brodie Rao (brodie).
Chinmay's blog: http://blog.chinmayjoshi.com/

I'll also be around for whatever question and support might be needed.

Anurag, Chinmay: welcome aboard!
GSoC, and open source in general, is a unique opportunity to learn from
and connect with some of the best people in this trade.

What's next:
GSoC's coding activities begins on Monday, May 19th, and
will go on for 13 weeks, until August 18th.
Since Anurag's university coursework will start on August 1st,
he will begin the work a few weeks in advance (early May).

I think a very good way to start would be that Anurag and Chinmay post
their "timeline" (the project roadmap they put on melange) here in the
development mailing list, so that we can possibly refine the design and
see what's best to begin with.

let the dance begin,
ggherdov
