My favorite project (and one that I think is well manageable in the time and experience limits) is writing a Sphinx web app that serves docs in a more interactive fashion than the standard static HTML. This would be used for the Python docs and should include comments, better search (e.g. via Xapian) and changes suggestions, but other feature suggestions are welcome if students come up with them. Another project is adding a direct PDF builder, producing its output via reportlab/rst2pdf as opposed to having to go through LaTeX. This is a bit more tedious, because it requires handling quite a lot of corner cases. The projects suggested by Rodrigo and Ben look good to me too. > 2) 2 mentors for the student (primary and backup), these people should > send me a private email for more on this. I would be the primary mentor, and I hope Armin will act as my backup; I'll try to contact him ASAP. Do you need more info?
