something together. For the time being I've recycled last
years projects (with one dropped so far):

We have had another student inquiry on the GSOC front. I am
going from memory, which is always a bit sketchy, but it seems
that there is a bit of an increase in student interest this year.
Would there be any interest in a project to automate binding
generation from C files (or perhaps even a full conversion tool)?
This could be done either as a new project, or possibly building
on dstep - if there is meaningful work that can still be done to
improve that project. Alternately, the student suggested using
pycparser (https://github.com/eliben/pycparse) as the basis for
such a tool?
Jacob, are you sure you don't want to Mentor? It seems like you
are involved in all the interesting projects from a student
perspective :o)
Is there work that can be done to improve dstep?
