Hi,

I added the following proposed job for a student to the GNU proposal for
Google Summer of Code:

Id: Gnulib-Tool-Reimplementation
Title: Reimplement gnulib-tool in Python
Description:
+ gnulib-tool is the developer tool that collects modules from gnulib
+ and stores them in the source code of a package. It is currently
+ written as a shell script; this leads to limited maintainability and
+ slow execution speed. The task is to rewrite it in Python. This will
+ make the code more maintainable and faster.
+ Required skills: Experience writing code in an object-oriented
+ programming language (such as Java, C#, not necessarily Python).
+ In this project, you can learn Python on the fly or broaden your
+ experience with Python.
Package: Gnulib.

If someone applies, I'm willing to mentor him/her.

Bruno
