Hi, I think it's a great idea. I'm also an ex-student in this program and I use Twisted quite a lot in my work. I am willing to help mentor if you need me. Best, Nicolas On Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 10:32 PM, Esteve Fernandez <esteve@sindominio.net>wrote:

Hi all,

the GSoC FAQ was recently published [1] and I wondered if Twisted could be a mentoring organization for the next installment of the GSoC program.

I think it's a good opportunity to bring new developers to Twisted by having a mentor. I was a GSoC student last year and it was pretty fun.

I'd offer my help to mentor a student, but I think I couldn't become an official mentor (though I'd like to be one) as I'm not a Twisted developer. In any case, I could bring my experience as an ex-student :-)

Anyway, some areas a student could give a helping hand are:

- porting some Twisted.web2 feature(s) to Twisted.web - improving support for Twisted in Jython or IronPython - porting Amp to Java, C++, etc. - adding or improving support for Twisted in an external library (e.g. Thrift, Amazon services, Storm, Protocol Buffers, etc.)

What do you think?

Cheers.
