Soon, the work begins..

I have not had much time up unti now to work on my project, much less to blog about it. So: "Hey there, fellow Coders of Summer!" and of course to whoever else is reading this: "Welcome. Wait, what are you doing here?!".

First a small introduction for the folks over at Planet SoC:
My name is Andreas Scholta and this summer I will be working on an improved game script bytecode decompiler for ScummVM. And if that wasn't exciting enough, I will be using Scheme as my language of choice, at least for prototyping that is. Because this is my first time applying for/participating in SoC I do feel lucky and elated for me to have made it this far. Naturally, the blunt of work is still ahead and I hope I am able to successfully complete my project by the end of this summer.

Work is officially supposed to begin tomorrow and hence I have finally taken the time to talk to my mentor about basic project infrastructure things. As a result a SVN branch has been set up and a wiki account was created, which I will use for project internal progress reports and possibly for documentation of specific ideas.

Much thanks goes out to the people who have encouraged me (some indirectly) to take part in this beautiful endeavour and whose silent support up to and loud cheers upon my admission filled me with motivation and a subtle anxiety to finally be able to get to work. You know who you are.

For now, what else is there to say but..
Happy Hacking!
