Re: [cdt-dev] Draft proposal for GSoC project for CDT/LSP integration 
Excellent. LSP for CDT is becoming a must have feature with both cquery and clangd advancing. Hopefully we get a slot.

Thanks!
Doug.

The student application period for GSoC projects has now concluded, and I'm pleased to report that we've had one student application for this project. I've registered as "wanting to mentor" the project on the GSoC website.

I guess the next step is to see whether we get a slot for this project!

Regards,
Nate

Thanks! I've now added the proposal to the wiki page [1].

Looks awesome Nate! Thanks for this. You would make a great mentor. Please proceed.

Cheers,
Doug.
