I'm well aware that this isn't an easy task. But there are the PEPs, describing
what has been changed, and some reports of projects that have migrated already.

Since there wasn't enough time to discuss this on the list (once again I'd like
to apologize for that), I've already submitted my application.

The text of the application is available at
http://bitbucket.org/trovao/gsoc-2010/src/tip/application.rst

I'll also transcribe that info to the wiki. I'm trovao on IRC, should you need
to discuss somewhere there.

Fair enough. I'm doing it, at least that's what I hope. :)
