Dear Stackless Friends and Python developers,

we are planning a sprint on developing and
learning Stackless Python.
It will be located in Berlin, happening probably
somewhere in March 2004.
Duration is not settled, maybe little more than a weekend,
maybe more, this depends on what you like.

Contents?
Well, there is a lot possible.

Current topics which come into mind are

* autoscheduling
* scheduling object
* brain storming!
* Zope Wiki and Documentation
* making channels really stackless
* find the Bajo bug if I still can't?
* demo applications
* more regression tests
* real zope apps?
* minimalist Stackless Python with no hardware dependency
* assembly-free Stackless with setjmp/longjmp
* spreading the internals between developers

but this is completely open for discussion.

Level?
Well, it will be a bit simpler than the pypy-sprints,
which I think are very difficult, but Stackless
has its built-in difficulties by nature.

Usability?
This is by far, now and forever, the best possible way
to learn about Stackless Python and to become a core
developer. But no guarantee possible :-)

Fun?
Guaranteed.

Please contact me.

cheers - chris
