Hi Nick.
Sorry for the late reply.

I'm interested in volunteering my time to mentor a small group of senior

project ideas.
Great :)
The project would be for their senior capstone class. Groups of 2-4
students vote on the list of available projects and then work from roughly
mid-November to mid-May (along with all their other coursework) to
complete it. The scope of a projects are similar to what you'd assign a
full-time summer intern.
I'm relatively new to the Python community and haven't poked around PyPy
much yet. I see the potential PyPy project list [1] in the developer
documentation. That's very helpful, but is anyone able to recommend some
projects from that list that are about the right difficulty and size?
It would be great to schedule some sort of IRC discussions and
especially ask what people are interested in working on. It also
depends vastly on people's knowledge of Python, compilers etc, so it's
hard to tell which projects are what size for what people upfront.
What's your timezone? When is a good time to have such discussion?
Thanks for the response :)
I'm on the west coast of the US (UTC-7), but it looks like I may have
missed the opportunity to submit a PyPy-related proposal for the class.
I got another Python proposal in there but the deadline for submitting
more (yesterday) was closer than I realized. I'll have to talk to the
professor to see if there might be more room, but let's hold off on a
discussion for now.
Nick
I have a decent amount of time to work with the students and am looking
for a project I could make significant contributions to as well. So I
should be able to work closely with the students and take whatever they
produce and work it into something usable if they are unable to complete
the entire project.
That's great.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Nick Wilson
Cheers,
