make maximum use of students (and their code doesn't get tossed at the<br>
end of the summer, which has serious morale consequences ;)</blockquote><div><br>This is my concern as well.<br></div></div><br>One of my past students pitched a core project and ended up spending most of his SoC time in the PEP process (<a href="http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0368/">http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0368/</a>). Given how frustrating the experience was for him, I'd rather have future SoC students be able to focus on code.<br>
<br>Let's at least have rough consensus on brainstormed ideas before they hit the ideas page. Existing PEPs that have had a time to air and evolve are much better for this reason.<br><br>
