I'm glad to report that Google has announced the projects accepted for the Summer of Code 2008. PostNuke has had four students allocated, who are undertaking projects from our ideas page: a new search module, categories module changes, usability enhancements and a revisions control system.We hope to publish a short interview with each student over the next few days. Meanwhile, today marks the start of the community bonding period, which students should use to get to know the project and what makes PostNuke so great. Please make them feel welcome.
The four students accepted are Daniel Byrd, Carlos Fernandez, Prevel Mathieu and John Pritchard. You can read the abstracts of the project proposals on the Google SoC website.

This will definitely give $newname a nice push, and will show other developers how rewarding it can be to join an open source project as ours.
Welcome Daniel Byrd, Carlos Fernandez, Prevel Mathieu and John Pritchard (please let us know your nicks!), nice to have you among us. Whatever you need, ask your mentor, but also feel free to approach the community. If you need server space, test installations or a Trac environment for your project let me know.
Take care, folks!
Greetings,
Chris

Welcome aboard,
If you have questions feel free to ask me. I am one of the support staff, so there is not much around here that I don't know at least a little about or who to ask.
There is a real strength of community here. Our community extends beyond this site. Spending a little time developing some relationships here, can save hours of developing code. As GSOC students you can get an easy pass into the developers extended developers circle, take advantage of it.
Happy $NewNaming!
