GSOC 2015: Scala Library Build Tool

Hello Everyone, 

I'm a senior year computer engineering student in Turkey. 

I've been using Scala for the past couple of months along with Apache 
Spark. I enjoyed using Scala since it is a modern language that increases 
productivity. 
Particularly, the functionality of Scala, scala-test library and SBT tool. In 
the past I've had a few years of experience with Haskell, so it was a 
smooth transaction.
SBT plays a big role in productivity. It decreases compilation time, 
resolves dependencies, sets up necessary libraries. As good as it is, SBT 
was a bit confusing at first. 
And I can definitely understand how it might be a bit intimidating to 
newcomers(Even though SBT documentation is excellent). 

I was excited to see a project idea about a new build tool that can be used 
inside Scala. 
I think Scala as a language can benefit a lot from such a tool. I would be 
delighted to work on developing it.
I've been researching what could be done to improve SBT and what's 
necessary for these past days.
I've also been working on a design proof-of-concept as to how this library 
tool might look, you can find it here(https://github.com/TamerTas/Liberty) 
<https://github.com/TamerTas/Liberty>. 
Your feedback would be most appreciated.

I'll submit a proposal to give more details about the library architecture, 
dependencies, the design and a timeline.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask. 
Looking forward to hear from you.

Tamer Tas
