# Introduction
Below is a list of project ideas for [GSoC](https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2014) 2014. These projects require familiarity with the Nimrod programming language so it is absolutely essential that you become familiar with Nimrod ahead of time.
[Nimrod](http://nimrod-lang.org) is a statically typed programming language which compiles primarily to C. Areas of the project you may wish to work on include the [Nimrod compiler](#wiki-nimrod-compiler) which is itself written in Nimrod, Nimrod's [standard library](#wiki-standard-library) and/or the [tools and infrastructure](#wiki-tools--infrastructure) of Nimrod which includes the Nimrod build farm (Nimbuild) and the Nimrod package manager (babel). The language is still pre-1.0 which means that the language specification is still not finished however despite this the project still tries to keep backwards compatibility.

To get started you will need to clone the Nimrod repository and then subsequently bootstrap the compiler, instructions for doing this are located [here](https://github.com/Araq/Nimrod#compiling). You can then move onto the [tutorial](http://nimrod-lang.org/tut1.html) and read through the [other documentation](http://nimrod-lang.org/docs.html) as well.
We encourage you to join the #nimrod IRC channel on Freenode to discuss these projects with the community and our mentors. The Nimrod [Forum](http://forum.nimrod-lang.org) is also available. Because communication is a big part of open source development you are expected to get in touch with us before making your application, failure to do so will put your application at a great disadvantage.
