Projects

Please add what you'd like to work on to this section.

(Note that the sprint will fall between the scheduled dates for Python 2.5rc1 and 2.5final. So we'll probably need to work on branches, or areas that don't risk stability such as documentation.)

Look over the list of NeedForSpeed successes and failures and continue from some of those ideas.

Add Doc/howto/ directory to the build process for the documentation

Finish documentation for wsgiref so it can go into 2.5.

Possible bugs/patches: 1496501 1495229 (doc bug) 1494314 1491431 1488934 (possibly-tricky I/O bug)
