It depends on what you mean by "up to speed," but I'm a student. I have a project that I was previously working on (Simon Riggs called it "Sychronized Scanning," here's a link to my first post about it: <http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2005-02/msg00832.php> ). It seemed promising, but I didn't finish it because of time. I would be interested in the Summer of Code thing, I'm well introduced to PostgreSQL (been user and fairly active follower since before 7.0), and I am capable with C. I don't know what the expectations are, but if Google is interested in PostgreSQL, I would certainly talk with any mentors about the potential project, and what the scope would be.
