+We would like to present one or two examples during the talk and
+offer some tasks for people to experiment with. The exact details about
+the examples will be prepared later, especially because given current
+pypy developement pace, a lot of things might be implemented till march.
+
+One of the following might be especially good for the purpose of talk:
+
+* (Re)implement the thunk objspace, the way to "freeze" computation as
+  long as they're not needed.
+
+* Implement specialized sort of tuples, like pairs, indistinguishable from
+  normal tuples from the application level code.
+
+* Implement dict.keys() as a lazily computed list.
+
 
-XXX example, think what that could be. Much of touching pypy,
-    not much doing algorithms IMHO
 
 * Tutorial outline for website publication, if different from the above.
