Yes, we are applying this year. Note that we didn't last year and it's not yet certain we will be accepted as a mentoring organization. Even if our application as an organization is not granted, you can still apply to work on the project under the Python Software Foundation umbrella. Unfortunately, I don't think any Sage developers volunteered to be mentors in PSF projects. > Beside those.. do you think it's a good idea to propose Finite > Automata support?

We were trying to stay away from mainly mathematical projects. IMHO, as long as there is a substantial computer science / programming component, having real maths content should be ok. > I don't know if it's a good idea to propose to write the classes from > scratch, or to use a library (like NetworkX with Graph support), > recommendations? We try not to reinvent the wheel and concentrate on building the car. :) It would be better to avoid duplication of functionality unless there is a good reason to do so. If you set out to do this, you'd probably have to decide on a user interface to expose the functionality of these packages in a unified way and implement it.
