Hey,

The Apertium project is taking part this year as well, so if there are
students reading who are interested in rule-based and hybrid machine
translation, our ideas are here:

 http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Ideas_for_Google_Summer_of_Code

And our GSOC page is here:

 http://socghop.appspot.com/org/show/google/gsoc2009/apertium

The rest of the information is as Linas pointed out.

Fran
