We have had another student inquiry on the GSOC front.  I am 
going from memory, which is always a bit sketchy, but it seems 
that there is a bit of an increase in student interest this year.

Would there be any interest in a project to automate binding 
generation from C files (or perhaps even a full conversion tool)? 
  This could be done either as a new project, or possibly building 
on dstep - if there is meaningful work that can still be done to 
improve that project.  Alternately, the student suggested using  
pycparser (https://github.com/eliben/pycparse) as the basis for 
such a tool?

Jacob, are you sure you don't want to Mentor?  It seems like you 
are involved in all the interesting projects from a student 
perspective :o)

Is there work that can be done to improve dstep?
