Hi, I added the following proposed job for a student to the GNU proposal for Google Summer of Code:
Id: Gnulib-Tool-Reimplementation Title: Reimplement gnulib-tool in Python Description: + gnulib-tool is the developer tool that collects modules from gnulib + and stores them in the source code of a package. It is currently + written as a shell script; this leads to limited maintainability and + slow execution speed. The task is to rewrite it in Python. This will + make the code more maintainable and faster. + Required skills: Experience writing code in an object-oriented + programming language (such as Java, C#, not necessarily Python). + In this project, you can learn Python on the fly or broaden your + experience with Python. Package: Gnulib. If someone applies, I'm willing to mentor him/her. Bruno
