What kind of projects do you have in mind for the Summer of Code people to take on?
The project I personally was planning on doing was an official GUI for MacPorts. Currently, there's only a non-free (in all senses of the word) frontend.
Apart from this, porting a major application: like the next big Gnome/KDE could also fit the bill. Surely, you guys must be having a TODO list? :)
Additionally, any general *nix application that hasn't been ported to Darwin/OSX yet will qualify as a MacPorts project. There are tons of these out there, so a proposal could either contain porting several small applications or one big one; the coding time allowed is 3 months.
One very useful thing I can think of is getting dependencies to support variants - i.e. port 1 need 'port 2 +variantA'. -eric
