> For information there is a new session handler in the next glfusion [1]:
>
> "We have implemented a new session handler that improves performance
> and also improves the overall security of a glFusion CMS site. Each
> site visitor is given a unique session id which is maintained while
> they browse your site.  This change is invisible to the user, but
> really provides some cool features for plugin developers.  The main
> thing folks will notice is improved performance and scalability."
>
> and a new subscription system:
>
> "With glFusion CMS v1.3.0, we have implemented a core subscription
> system. This allows users to subscribe to various types of content
> updates. For example, user's can subscribe to Forum updates (i.e.; be
> notified anytime a new post is made), or they can subscribe to receive
> comment updates. Finally, they can subscribe to Media Gallery album
> updates.  Some of these notifications already existed in prior
> versions of glFusion, but the cool thing now is that all subscription
> management is consolidated to a single interface. User's can now go
> into My Account and manage all of their subscriptions in one place.
> We've also made some imrpovements to the outbound email handling. We
> understand that the new subscription feature can grow the amount of
> outbound email, so we now try to optimize how email is sent to reduce
> system load."

>>> So is everyone up for trying out again this year?
>>
>> I think we should certainly apply again.
>>
>> So, can everyone (not just potential mentors) please review what we have on
>> our GSoC page on the wiki:
>>
>> http://wiki.geeklog.net/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code
>>
>> Please check if the proposed projects are still relevant or if they need to
>> be updated with regards to new features or changes in Geeklog 2.0.0. Also
>> feel free to propose new projects. For this, you can use
>>
>> http://wiki.geeklog.net/index.php/GSoC_Brainstorming
>>
>> as a starting point (there are some good ideas there that would need to be
>> expanded upon to make them into fully fleshed out proposals).
>>
>> In general, we are looking for projects that
>>
>> - add useful, possibly often-asked for features to Geeklog
>> - will keep a student busy for 3 months
>> - are doable by someone new to the project
>> - have a good chance to be done and integrated(!) by the end of GSoC
>>
>> Given our lack of integration of previous successful GSoC projects, I think
>> the last point is very important and something that we should try and
>> enforce this year. Being integrated into the then-current Geeklog version
>> should be part of it being considered a success.
>>
>> I think we should be aiming for 3 or 4 slots, i.e. student projects (should
>> we be accepted). So we need at least 3 mentors and as many co-mentors. I'll
>> volunteer to take on the admin role again, but would need a co-admin. Anyone
>> up for this?
>>
>> There have been a few minor changes to the program this year. I'll have
>> another look, but the most obvious change is that everything happens a month
>> later this year. Please take this into account when applying for any role.
>>
>> Anything else we need to consider?
>>
>> bye, Dirk
