Re: gEDA-user: Google SoC : Potential Candidate seeking Info

Thank you all for the feedbacks. I looked a bit deeper into the
projects and my interests and figured that , I am not into GUI stuff
but would love to get my hands more dirty with things even down.

Looks interesting now for me. I will look at the current codebase. Is
this "noise" and "hb" implementation that someone is doing already
available in the VCS for me to have a look at and check the pattern of
implementation?

This sounds exciting too. But I am highly unsure about the things that
I need to learn before taking this project up. The Icarus Project page
says this project remains clear of the Iverilog core. It states that
one might require knowledge of how to "compile" models for gnucap. Can
some more light be thrown here please? Any nice starting pointers? I
can then catch on and start rolling.

Thank you once again.

With Best Regards,
Aanjhan
