That's a great idea too. Might be worthwhile creating a slightly different series of posts for these more in-depth types of projects. If we keep the list well-maintained, it could be useful both for bachelor's projects but also major projects at other educational levels (Masters, PhD, etc) and also for GSoC projects. Organizing big projects by skill level and time commitment would be very valuable. Later on I'll create a BigProjects page on the trac wiki to hold this kind of information, people can mail them to me (and I will add them to the wiki) or can add them to the wiki directly. --Andrew Whitworth _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
