Your next post answered my question as to mentor eligibility: known of by 
you or two references therefrom.  But back to project eligibility: how far 
beyond direct implementation-related projects?  How about progammer support 
like pylint/pychecker?  Or library extensions like numpy/scipy?  Or 
webframeworks?  Is there a Google page I should read for their views, as 
well as getting yours (and Guido's) as to what PSF wants to sponser?  I 
don't want to mislead people.

I will try to draft something tomorrow (Tues.) with blanks left for missing 
info.

I am curious about last year's results for PSF projects: how many of how 
many actually finished enough to collect the full stipend?  Is there a 
report that I never saw?
