[Scons-dev] Fwd: Add SCons project under Python's GSOC?

[William Deegan]

Greetings,

So I got ahold of the Python contact for their GSoC to see if SCons could run under their umbrella.
Looks like it would be a fire drill which might not pay off.

What do you all think?
We can pass and then be prepared next year if nothing else..
