[Python-Dev] SoC proposal: "fix some old, old bugs in sourceforge"

[Alan McIntyre]

Hi all,

I would like to participate in the Summer of Code as a student.  At the
moment it looks like the Python tracker on SF has about 2100 open bugs
and patches, going back to late 2000.  I'm assuming that a fair number
of these are no longer be applicable, have been fixed/implemented
already, etc., and somebody just needs to slog through the list and
figure out what to do with them.

My unglamorous proposal is to review bugs & patches (starting with the
oldest) and resolve at least 200 of them.  Is that too much?  Too few? 
I'll fix as many as possible during the SoC time frame, but I wanted to
set a realistically achievable minimum for the proposal.  If anybody can
offer helpful feedback on a good minimum number I'd appreciate it.

Not-guru-ish-enough-to-found-a-new-web-framework'ly yours,
