Google Summer of Code--any interest?

I don't recall that nedit has ever had a participant in the Google Summer of 
Code, so I did some googling, but didn't find anything there, either.

Could that be a good thing for nedit?

I'm wondering if we could interest someone in implementing real folding, or 
doing some subprojects leading toward real folding (if the total folding task 
is too big for a summer project).

As potential subprojects I can think of a few--I'll mention some here, maybe 
more in a separate post after I ask a question or two (in another post)
   * revise the nedit display widget to add a(n optional) column for folding 
marks (i.e., the typical + or - in a box, vertical lines, the L-shaped 
termination of such lines)
   * do a design of folding with enough proof of concept programming to prove 
the design is feasible
   * improve the documentation (commenting) of nedit in parts of the code that 
aren't documented sufficiently
