For those who are not aware, Google just launched the Google Highly Open Participation (GHOP) project. GHOP introduces high-school-age kids to Open Source by giving them small but meaningful tasks to do.

I have noticed at least one PyPy-related task proposal for GHOP, but I think that there is more opportunity here.

Specifically, some of the "production-ready" threads noted that it is difficult to get a PyPy environment set up. Could that be a task?

How about an example of translating a function or module to rpython? How about actual translations of simple parts of the standard library - maybe a function at a time?

PyPy is well suited to providing GHOP tasks, because there are lots of interesting bits of code that could be translated into rpython. That is a little bit more substantial than simple documentation tasks, but still easy enough to do (if the translation is of single functions or a small group of related functions).

What do you all think?

That's me who submitted it, sorry for not notifying pypy-dev earlier. I think so as well :-) Cheers, fijal :.
