Hi Can. Surprisingly enough, both of those projects has been done, however, there is plenty of work to be done in both the area of GUI (say gobject?) and JIT (especially on ARM), like optimizing ARM, setting up buildbot etc. We do however require people to make a small contribution to the project before accepting their application. I must also warn you that PyPy is not the easiest project out there, so if you're looking for a free ticket through SoC, this is not the best choice. That said, our main communication channel is #pypy on freenode. As a start, get the pypy tests going on your raspberry pi and pop in to the channel, we'll find you some small task Cheers, fijal _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
