Proposal ideas

The following ideas are just suggestions. You're free to invent your own ideas, or to use their suggestions as starting points.

• Some ideas to help get you started: look at the SimpleTodo and CodingProjectIdeas pages.

• Revive restricted Python -- inspired by a recent thread on the py3k list.
• Create a bunch of modules like what Squeak has for 3D modeling, events etc. (the exact list may be somewhat different, I haven't researched this in any depth). This is inspired by a recommendation from Alan Kay made at the Shuttleworth workshop.

• Add a web-based admin interface and/or user-oriented views to [http://www.third-bit.com/drproject DrProject], a lightweight project management portal intended for use in software engineering courses.

Accepted proposals
