I have read your official web page from first to the last > page and my memory is quite fresh... Haiku R1 is already mostly defined. Most of the GSoC projects will not be in R1, so don't get overly concerned with it. These email threads are from potential GSoC students to present their project ideas and for getting feedback, please try to keep them on topic. Seeing that you are new to Haiku please check the mailing list etiquette page (specifically about not top posting): http://www.haiku-os.org/community/ml/etiquette You say you read the website, but perhaps you missed this page on the first pass through. -scottmc
