I copied and pasted the Ragel proposal from this email: ,----------------------------------------------------------------------- | From: Rustom Mody | Subject: Another gsoc idea -- ragel | Newsgroups: gmane.emacs.orgmode | To: emacs-orgmode | Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2012 20:24:55 +0530 (1 week, 5 days, 21 hours ago) | | Ragel http://www.complang.org/ragel/ is a tool that integrates regular | expressions and state machines under one umbrella. | It has backends currently for C, C++, Objective-C, D, Java and Ruby.  | I do not think having an elisp backend would be a very big task. | | After that (in my estimate) org-mode code would (could) become half as | long and twice as fast -- at least those sections that are heavily | regex oriented `----------------------------------------------------------------------- to the GSoC ideas page, and added (a bit deliberately) the author of the email and Bastien (Guerry) as potential mentors for the project idea - just assuming they might be interested in mentoring. But I did not confirm with neither of them! I would therefore suggest that you contact them to find out who might actually be the mentor for your project. -- cheers, Thorsten
