Re: [Python-Dev] Core projects for Summer of Code

If it's organized in time we could scoop up some of the SoC applicants who we'll like to have but we won't have slots for Honestly I like the idea of competitions. Better publicity, the greater prizes will draw out some better minds from the community, and competitions based on quality will help
