Hi all,<br>
<br>
the GSoC FAQ was recently published [1] and I wondered if Twisted could be a<br>
mentoring organization for the next installment of the GSoC program.<br>
<br>
I think it's a good opportunity to bring new developers to Twisted by having a<br>
mentor. I was a GSoC student last year and it was pretty fun.<br>
<br>
I'd offer my help to mentor a student, but I think I couldn't become an<br>
official mentor (though I'd like to be one) as I'm not a Twisted developer.<br>
In any case, I could bring my experience as an ex-student :-)<br>
<br>
Anyway, some areas a student could give a helping hand are:<br>
<br>
- porting some Twisted.web2 feature(s) to Twisted.web<br>
- improving support for Twisted in Jython or IronPython<br>
- porting Amp to Java, C++, etc.<br>
- adding or improving support for Twisted in an external library (e.g. Thrift,<br>
Amazon services, Storm, Protocol Buffers, etc.)<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>
<br>
Cheers.<br>
