I like GSoC tasks from Sean and Andrew. Jimmy, Can you provide a sort of analysis of your tasks? Are there any open source automatic translation tools? How a web updater relates to NSIS and Java WebStart? Is there any relation between your multi-vm and isolation API? What is in a smallest class set except -verbose:class? Please, provide more motivation.
As one of Apache gurus said, "You want start a new open source project? Don't." Thanks!
