And, a new version (thanks to pmurias at #parrot for the idea).
Sorry for the spam :)

Follows a quick proposal. Please give me comments (specially the
English, that I know is bad!!)

Hi
This Google Summer of Code proposal was an idea we had when Leopold
visited Braga this month to talk about Parrot. He had a talk with a
teacher here in the university which teach compilers, and is working
on a toy language named LISS (Language of Integers, Sets and Sequences).
The proposal was to create a compiler to this language. You can check
the grammar (well, it might change a little but is mainly the one
there) and examples at http://eremita.di.uminho.pt/~ambs/LISS
Why it might be interesting: have one more language targeted to
Parrot, have some interaction between the Universities world and the
Parrot world, and others. I hope Leo comment this mail with his
thoughts when he had the idea.
Now, why am I sending this email?
1) I never proposed anything for SoC at all, and I don't know if this
is a task big enough;
2) I do not know if there is really interest on doing this
3) I do not know who to propose as mentor (I offer myself in case of
necessity)
And probably more that will appear soon :)
Please, comment... gently :)
Cheers
Alberto

Project
P-LISS - A Parrot targeted LISS Compiler
Synopsis
To implement a compiler of LISS (Language of Integers, Sets and
Sequences) targeted to the Parrot Vitual Machine
Benefits to the Perl Community
- connecting parrot to the academic world
- Parrot testing
- development of a language to teach programming
Deliverables
A LISS Compiler with tests, full documentation of the language and
its grammar. A set of examples and probably a tutorial.
Project Details
LISS is a language developed by the group of specification and
language processing of the Universidade do Minho in Braga, Portugal.
It is intended to be simple to teach students how to program.
LISS grammar already exists and an interpreter will be probably
built meanwhile. The idea is to create a compiler for LISS, written
in any portable language (we would like to make it usable in all
three main platforms -- Windows, Mac OS and Linux) targeting LISS
into Parrot.
Project Schedule
This project should be completed in two or three months (depending
on the evolution of Parrot and the knowledge of the programmer).
Milestones include: create a parser, write tests, generate code,
write documentation.
Bio
I am a PhD student at Universidade do Minho, member of the group who
developed LISS, but not directly related to it. Meanwhile, I've been
a contributor to Parrot, and thus, I am in the middle of the two world.
Also, I have easy contact with the creators of LISS and Leopold Toetch
who, I think, would help me mentoring the student in case of need.
