I did a quick brainstorming with me, myself and I. I came up with a list of (IMHO) important tasks.
* Stabilize the C API of Python 3.0. I like to rename several prefixes to reduce the confusing: PyBytes -> PyByteArray,
+1 (also +1 to backporting this to 2.6)
PyString -> PyBytes ...
-1. This will make merging code from 2.6 harder, and causes more work for porting C extensions.
* Backport the new buffer protocol to 2.6. I spoke to Travis yesterday and he said he is trying to get it done during the PyCon sprint. Maybe somebody can assist him?
Does he need assistance?
I don't really need help with back-porting the protocol. However, I do need help with the struct module changes. This is a standard-library that I'm hoping to get help with. -Travis
