gsoc All five Gradle-focused Google Summer of Code projects in the Kotlin Foundation have passed the mid-term evaluation and continue to the next phase! All contributors have delivered some releases and pull requests, including new Gradle plugins, IDEA plugin improvements and compatibility patches to existing plugins like Detekt or Nebula Lint Plugin.

Here are the raw videos for the projects below. We will be sharing refined versions in the blog post(s) later:
• Better Reporting and Parallel Verifications in the IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin – Gradle Reporting and Parallel Verifications by @alaje
• Enhanced Kotlin Code Quality Reporting: Gradle Problems API integration for the Detekt plugin by @Vanessa Johnson
• Gradle Convention Plugin for Developing Jenkins Plugins by @Aarav Mahajan

If you are interested in learning more, see the Project Pages and the List of GSoC 2025 Deliverables—Mid-Term Evaluation, and join the discussion channels linked there (in the second google doc). In the next coding phase community feedback from interested adopters is crucial, and we will appreciate your participation!

Kudos to all contributors and @Jakub Chrzanowski, @sghill, @rahulsom, @Rafael Chaves, @bamboo , @Reinhold Degenfellner, @donat for being mentors this year!

P.S: There are 2 more projects for Kotlin Language Server and the KMP for Gemini that have also successfully passed the evaluation. Stay tuned for the wider announcement!
