How to apply as a mentor

How to submit a proposal

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.
Help improve the www.python.org web site production system (pyramid) and write documentation to prepare it for open source release.
Help move www.python.org towards dynamic content generation techniques.
Improve Buildbot for python use and/or in general.
The PyPy project has lots of SoC sized tasks. Ask on the pypy-dev mailing list.
Improve Jython

Those interested in working in [http://www.djangoproject.com Django] may do so [http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/SummerOfCode2006 under the auspices of the Django group].

Note: if a project is listed as having two mentors, the first mentor listed is the primary mentor, and the second one is the back-up mentor.
