 # gRPC Summer of Code Project Ideas
 
-C Core:
+Hello students!
 
-1. Port gRPC to  one of (Free, Net, Open) BSD platforms and create packages for them. Add kqueue support in the process.
-2. Fix gRPC C-core's URI parser. The current parser does not qualify as a standard parser according to [RFC3986]( https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986). Write test suites to verify this and make changes necessary to make the URI parser compliant.
-3. HPACK compression efficiency evaluation - Figure out how to benchmark gRPC's compression efficiency (both in terms of bytes on the wire and cpu cycles). Implement benchmarks. Potentially extend this to other standalone implementations -- Java and Go.
+We want gRPC to be the universal remote procedure call protocol for all
+computing platforms and paradigms, so while these are our ideas of what we
+think would make good projects for the summer, we're eager to hear your ideas
+and proposals as well.
+[Try us out](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) and get
+to know the gRPC code and team!
+
+**Required skills for all projects:** git version control, collaborative
+software development on github.com, and software development in at least one
+of gRPC's ten languages on at least one of Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.
+
+-------------------------------------
+
+gRPC C Core:
+
+1. Port gRPC to  one of the major BSD platforms ([FreeBSD](https://freebsd.org), [NetBSD](https://netbsd.org), and [OpenBSD](https://openbsd.org)) and create packages for them. Add [kqueue](https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=kqueue) support in the process.
+ * **Required skills:** C programming language, BSD operating system.
+ * **Likely mentors:** [Craig Tiller](https://github.com/ctiller), [Nicolas Noble](https://github.com/nicolasnoble).

+ * **Required skills:** C programming language, HTTP standard compliance.
+ * **Likely mentors:** [Craig Tiller](https://github.com/ctiller).
+1. HPACK compression efficiency evaluation - Figure out how to benchmark gRPC's compression efficiency (both in terms of bytes on the wire and cpu cycles). Implement benchmarks. Potentially extend this to other full-stack gRPC implementations (Java and Go).
+ * **Required skills:** C programming language, software performance benchmarking, potentially Java and Go.
+ * **Likely mentors:** [Craig Tiller](https://github.com/ctiller).
 
 
 gRPC Python:
 
- 1. Evaluate the port of gRPC's Python implementation to PyPy. Investigate the state of [Cython support](http://docs.cython.org/src/userguide/pypy.html) to do this or potentially explore cffi
- 2. Develop and test Python 3.5 Support for gRPC. Make necessary changes to port gRPC and package it for supported platforms.

+ * **Required skills:** Python programming language, PyPy Python interpreter.
+ * **Likely mentors:** [Nathaniel Manista](https://github.com/nathanielmanistaatgoogle), [Masood Malekghassemi](https://github.com/soltanmm).

 gRPC Ruby/Java:
 
-1. jRuby support for gRPC. Develop a jRuby wrapper for gRPC based on grpc-java and ensure that it is API compatible with the existing Ruby implementation and passes all tests.

-Other:
+gRPC Wire Protocol:
 
-1. Develop a Wireshark plugin for the gRPC protocol. Provide documentation and tutorials for this plugin. Bonus: consider set-up and use with the mobile clients.
