Continuing the discussion from [List of project ideas for Google Summer of Code 2016](https://meta.discourse.org/t/list-of-project-ideas-for-google-summer-of-code-2016/38791):
We were granted 3 project slots by Google for this year’s GSoC. Here are the students and their projects.
### Erick Guan @fantasticfears – Webhooks
> **[Google Summer of Code](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2016/organizations/6414446415052800)**
>
> Google Summer of Code is a global program focused on bringing more developers into open source software development.
> I will build webhooks for Discourse. The webhook is a HTTP callback. It posts the payload to an external URL when an event happens.
### Konrad Borowski @GlitchMr – Babble improvements
> **[Google Summer of Code](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2016/organizations/6414446415052800)**

> A chat plugin for Discourse called Babble is going to be improved to the point where it will be a really usable chat system, while keeping it simple. Editing, deleting, flagging will be supported, as well as working mentions, permalinks, and attachments.
### André Pereira @adrapereira – Topic Summaries, Canned Replies and Presence Features
> **[Google Summer of Code](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2016/organizations/6414446415052800)**

> 1. Some topics, like a call-for-bug-reports or a new Howto, will receive a lot of replies that go stale shortly thereafter because the appropriate fixes/edits were applied as a response. When closing or marking as solved doesn’t make sense, the best solution to date is to delete these replies. Topic summaries offer a less destructive solution.
> 1. A simple way for moderators to insert pre-written responses to common inquiries. Reduces repetitive actions, especially in support-centric communities.
> 1. See who - apart from yourself - is using the “Reply” dialog box to write a reply to a particular topic. Targeted primarily at private group messages.
The particulars of these proposals are still subject to some changes as we talk things over in the weeks to come.

**To those who were not accepted this year:** Rejection is disappointing, but I hope this won’t bother you for long. If you’re genuinely interested in Discourse, I hope you’ll stick around in our community, as I think it’s a great place to grow as a developer.
