Hi Daniel, Thanks for putting this together.  I am a huge supporter of benchmarking efforts.  My brief comment is below.

1. Definition of the benchmark suite. This will entail contacting developers of Python implementations (CPython, PyPy, IronPython and Jython), via discussion on the appropriate mailing lists. This might be achievable as part of this proposal. If you are reaching out to other projects at this stage, I think you should also be in touch with the Cython people  (even if its 'implementation' sits on top of CPython). As a scientist/engineer what I care about is how Cython benchmarks to CPython.  I believe that they have some ideas on benchmarking and have also explored this space.  Their inclusion would be helpful to me thinking this GSoC successful at the end of the day (summer). Thanks for your consideration. Be Well Anthony

Right now, we are talking about building "speed.python.org" to test the speed of python interpreters, over time, and alongside one another

Cython is out of scope for this.
