In case you - want to spend the summer with your favorite Open Source project, PHP, and get - some money for adding an interesting project to it, you should - <a href="mailing-lists.php">contact</a> us at internals@lists.php.net. - The deadline for submitting ideas is the <em>26th of March, 2007.</em> - Also, the <a href="http://php.net/ideas">current list of ideas</a> - includes suggested topics still looking for student participants. + <a href="http://code.google.com/soc/">Google Summer of Code</a>. + Seven students will &quot;flip bits instead of burgers&quot; this summer: + <ul><li>Hannes Magnusson will work on <a href="http://wiki.phpdoc.info/LiveDocs">LiveDocs</a>, + which is a &quot;tool to display DocBook XML files in a web browser on the + fly, without the need of building all HTML target files first&quot;. This + project will be of great value to the PHP Documentation Team.</li> + <li>The PHP Interpreter uses reference counting to keep track of which objects + are no longer referenced and thus can be destroyed. A major weakness in the + current implementation is that it cannot detect reference cycles, that is + objects that reference each other in a circular graph structure which is not + referenced itself from outside the circle. Mentored by Derick Rethans, + David Wang will implement a new reference counting algorithm that will + alleviate this problem.</li> + <li><a href="http://xdebug.org/">Xdebug</a> provides a range of useful + functionality for PHP developers, including detailed error information, + code coverage and profiling support, and support for remote debugging using + the GDB and DBGp protocols. Mentored by Xdebug's creator, Derick Rethans, + Adam Harvey will develop a cross-platform GUI application that implements + the DBGp protocol and allows PHP applications to be debugged using Xdebug + in a development environment agnostic fashion.</li> + <li>Mentored by Lukas Smith, Konsta Vesterinen will work on the object-relational + mapper <a href="http://www.phpdoctrine.net/">Doctrine</a>.</li> + <li>Mutation Testing, or Automated Error Seeding, is an approach where the testing + tool makes some change to the tested code, runs the tests, and if the tests pass + displays a message saying what it changed. This approach is different than code + coverage analysis, because it can find code that is executed by the running of + tests but not actually tested. Mentored by Sebastian Bergmann, Mike Lewis will + implement Mutation Testing for <a href="http://www.phpunit.de/">PHPUnit</a>.</li> + <li>Mentored by Lukas Smith, Igor Feghali will add support for foreign keys to + <a href="http://pear.php.net/package/MDB2_Schema/">MDB2_Schema</a>, a package + that &quot;enables users to maintain RDBMS independant schema files in XML that + can be used to create, alter and drop database entities and insert data into a + database&quot;.</li> + <li>Mentored by David Coallier, Nicolas Bérard-Nault will refactor the internals + of <a href="http://www.jaws-project.com/">Jaws</a>, a Framework and Content + Management System for building dynamic web sites, for PHP 6.</li></ul> </p> <hr />
