Congratulations!
I'm very happy that your application has been accepted, I'm sure I'll be 
able to do a great job.

I think that before writing code it would be better to have a good 
understanding of pypy's architecture. How much do you know of PyPy?

Next, you should get an account on codespeak to be able to check your 
code in; have you already got such an account?

Today I'll be on IRC until about 16:00 UTC+2. My nick is - surprisingly 
enough - antocuni :-).
