PSF: Summer of Code projects announced

The list of accepted proposals is now public: 
<http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode>.

25 projects were been accepted, tying with the Apache Software
Foundation for the largest number of funded proposals.

The accepted projects include 5 enhancements to the CPython
interpreter or standard library, 3 PyPy projects, 3 SciPy projects,
and 2 projects relating to the Soya3D library for 3-dimensional
graphics. There are also individual projects to enhance PyGame,
SQLAlchemy, Python support in Eclipse, and Mailman; to port the Cells
extension for object-oriented programming from Common Lisp to Python;
to add automated code analysis to the Python Package Index; and to
write a Python API for Mozilla browser plug-ins.

The PSF would like to thank everyone who helped assess and rank
proposals, and all the volunteer mentors who offered to assist
students with their projects.
