[Haskell-cafe] Re: [Haskell] Google Summer of Code 2009

[Michael Litchard]

I would love a mentor to help me with a Haskell binding to libnova.
This is part of a larger project I have in mind, but the libnova
binding seems like the first step.
I don't expect this to be picked as an official GSoC, but this seemed
like a good time to look
for a mentor for this project.
