[elephant-devel] summer of code: native lisp backend?

[Ian Eslick]

I submitted such an idea last year but it didn't make it on the radar  
screen.  :)

I'm happy to play a co-mentor role on this if someone signs up to be  
the lead mentor.  I'm tied up time-wise with PhD qualifying exams this  
summer.  Perhaps several people would volunteer to help with the spec  
(Alex, Henrik?  Maybe Edi Weitz would participate too - he was  
interested in this sometime back) and someone can take on helping the  
coder with setup and the day-to-day implementation details.
