+
+The PyPy project have been an ongoing Open Source Python language
+implementation since 2003.  In December 2004 PyPy recieved EU-funding
+within the Framework Programme 6, second call for proposals ("Open
+development platforms and services" IST).
+
+A consortium of 7 partners in Germany, France and Sweden are working to
+achieve the goal of a open run-time environment for the Open Source
+Programming Language Python. The scientific aspects of the project is to
+investigate novel techniques (based on aspect-oriented programming code
+generation and abstract interpretation) for the implementation of
 practical dynamic languages.
 
-A methodological goal of the project is also to show case a novel software engineering process, Sprint Driven Development. This is an Agile 
-methodology, providing adynamic and adaptive environment, suitable for co-operative and distributed development.
-
-The project is divided into three major phases, phase 1 has the focus of developing the actual research tool - the self contained compiler, 
-phase 2 has the focus of optimisations (core, translation and dynamic) and in phase 3 the actual integration of efforts and dissemination of the results.
-The project has an expected deadline in November 2006.
-
-PyPy is still, though EU-funded, heavily integrated in the Open Source community of Python.The methodology of choice
-is the key strategy to make sure that the community of skilled and enthusiastic developers can contribute in ways that wouldn't have been possible
-without EU-funding.
