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. [http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0042/ PEP 42] also lists feature ideas.
- 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.
- Since Django is now a separate sponsor, maybe some work can be done on turbogears or on its components (sqlobject, cherrypy, kid)?
- 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
- Write a new and useful application in Python.
Improve an existing Python application (e.g. Mailman, BitTorrent, Zope). Some Python-based projects are SoC mentoring organizations in their own right, so you might end up being mentored by them, not the PSF.
Related sponsors
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].
Accepted proposals
