I would like to propose that once again we participate in the Google Summer of Code program for this upcoming summer. We have previously participated in the summers of 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2015, and we had a chance to work with students who made significant contributions, including Django, compiler, JyNI, and other functionality. Stefan Richthofer — who has been responsible for much of the recent activity on Jython development (https://hg.python.org/jython) — is interested in being a student again for this project to continue work on JyNI, specifically to support Windows; and I plan to be his mentor. Such work is most likely to touch on other Windows aspects, thus improving Jython's Windows support in general. We may also have other students/mentors who are interested. This mailing list is a good place to make any such interest known! The deadline for becoming a GSOC sub-organization for the PSF is Tuesday February 28, so some modest time urgency here! - Jim |

That's great! A big +1 from me. -Frank |

+1 here. Strengthening JyNI will help a lot of real users, while beneficial Windows "side effects" are clearly welcome too.

+1 for sure! I know I am not very active in the Jython community any longer, but Jython has benefited greatly from the GSOC in the past. I don't think it is an opportunity that can be passed up.
