I have got a few PRs merged[1] and I am now working on another one[2]. I have done a GSoC under git last year, so I am quite familiar with the whole process. My motivation to participate in SoH is mainly to learn Haskell and I personally think that contributing to a real world project is the best way to learn a language rather than just doing course exercises. I am currently looking for mentors to help me with the project. Is anybody interested?

The label "cabal-install" no longer seems to be used by itself; this search returns no results. Should this just link to all open issues given the home page is about Cabal in the larger sense, not specifically cabal-install?

This is a really important project, though the scope is quite a bit larger than one person can realistically achieve in 3 months, so you'll have to prioritise (we'll help you with that). You can start by taking a look at issues labeled "nix-local-build" on the bug tracker: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22cabal-install%3A+nix-local-build%22 > [...] > > I am currently looking for mentors to help me with the project. Is > anybody interested? Duncan Coutts, as the principal author of new-build, would be the obvious first choice. However, he seems to be unavailable right now, but will probably be back before summer. I can also help you with your project, and I've also spoken to Edward Z. Yang, with whom I believe you've already had some interaction; he's also open to the idea of being a mentor or a co-mentor. Please don't forget to apply before tomorrow's deadline. Good luck!
