 While we are happy to help you getting your code to work with PyPy,
 you may want something more than a bit of guidance over IRC. Some
 members of the PyPy development team are available for consulting
-work. Here are some examples of what they could do for you:
+work. Here are some examples of what we could do for you:
+
+- community development: On site mentoring of developers, company sprints
+- support: Commercial support contracts -- if it breaks, we will fix it
+- speed improvements for you:  We could profile and analyse your code, 
+  looking for ways  to make it more 'jit-friendly', and then either simply 
+  report what we found, or make the suggested changes in your codebase.
+- speed improvements for you: There are many ways we could improve our jit.
+  You could pay us to make the improvements which do the most for your 
+  codebase first.
+- speed improvements: work on making our generational GC more sophisticated
+- porting: Make PyPy support Python 3.0
+- porting: We could port  your favourite C/C++ extension library to RPython, 
+  so that PyPy can jit it.
+- porting: Build a facility for separate compilation, so you can more easily 
+  port your own extension libraries to RPython.
+- integration: integrate PyPy with Cython
+- integration: integrate PyPy with NumPy
+- whole new world: Make Stackless Python work with the JIT
+- whole new world: Write a backend for your favourite CPU architecture (the 
+  X86, amd64 and ARM are already there)
+- whole new world: Make the JIT work with the JVM
+- whole new world: Make the JIT work with .NET
+- whole new world: Write an interpreter for your second favourite dynamic 
+  programming language, so it can be sped up as well.
+- whole new world: Build a code obfuscator that is not trivial to work around
 
-- Commercial support contracts
-- On site mentoring of developers
-- Make your codebase compatible with PyPy
-- Port your favourite C/C++ extension library to PyPy
-- Build tools that are compatible with SWIG/Boost/Cython/whatever
-- Make Stackless Python work with the JIT
-- Write a backend for your favourite CPU architecture (X86, amd64 and ARM are 
-already there)
-- Make code that works under PyPy go even faster
