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, Alan McIntyre
