Hey Josh! If you haven't worked with/on Pyramid itself, you might want to run through the tutorial and get your first application up and running in Pyramid:
http://pyramid-blogr.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ Once you have become familiar with using Pyramid and SQLAlchemy both of GSoC projects will be much easier to jump in and get hacking. For NotAliens you would be helping building the website itself, so working directly on Pyramid or understanding a lot of the internals will not be a requirement (although it would be helpful!). I will go through and add some bugs tonight that will be good for you to jump in and get your feet wet with. For SQLAlchemy -> Colander we need to look at the current offerings vs rolling our own. Currently the most active offering of this is https://github.com/stefanofontanelli/ColanderAlchemy, so you might want to look at getting that setup against the SQLAlchemy models you use in the pyramid-blogr tutorial and see how well it works. There is also https://github.com/FormAlchemy/formalchemy which is not based on Colander but would be a good one to look at to see what some of the goals of the project would be.
