Google Summer of Code 2011: Welcome to Parrot!

The main function of this page is to initially provide a place to discuss the various Parrot projects presented to GSoC 2011.

Place details of possible projects under Projects up for grabs below

What is Parrot?
To get started, read the NewParrotDeveloperGuide.
Or browse the Parrot Git repository [source:/ online].
GSoCStudentApplicationTemplate - You must use this template for your student application!

Comprehensive documentation (as well as design and developer documentation) is available online.
PIR Tutorial will get you started on ParrotIntermediateRepresentation, Parrot's native language.
There's a bunch of resources for developers.
Other online resources are listed at WhereIsIt.
Check out current ParrotBestPractices.
- If you're working on Rakudo, the PGEBestPractices might also be helpful.
There are some recommended DeveloperTools.

ideas and/or links here

Embed parrot in Inkscape ( http://inkscape.org/).
Emit Bytecode from PAST/POST
TapTinder ( milestone M5 and others)
Adding something like create_language.pl as UNIX command (/usr/bin/create_language.pl is free); let it be installed; Linux distribution packages could add it
Extend the documentation in "docs/book/pct/ch05_nqp.pod" by adding some initial examples, show the use of grammar in NQP programs, may be some cross-references to the PCT-Tutorial could added
Examples to use different HLLs and to execute it as one program on top of Parrot. Calling a lua subroutine from Rakudo. How could the assembler- or byte-code from different HLLs be put together.
Implement the transformation from the Perl6 POD specification (Synopsis 26 - Documentation) to LaTeX, man pages or text as a language with PCT. (should be to difficult and take more then 2-3 month, may be it could divided)
Expand on parrot-instrument, build awesome tools on top of it, get it fully working again.
