[Soc2006] LispNYC/PSF joint project

[James Tauber]

I am interested in being the PSF-side mentor for this but I am
interested to know what particular support you are looking for on the
Python side (or overall). In other words, what do you see as the gaps
between what you know and what you need to know to succeed that you are
looking to a mentor to help you with. General Python guidance? Specific
guidance in certain areas? If it's just general support and guidance
about running open source projects in general, that's fine too, and I'm
more than willing to provide that.
