Hi I suggested a few Etoys projects for Google Summer of Code 2012. I think they all would be beneficial for Etoys if they get done.
http://gsoc2012.esug.org/projects:
Get Etoys image to run on CogVM http://gsoc2012.esug.org/projects/etoys-on-cog
Port OpenQwaq video to Etoys http://gsoc2012.esug.org/projects/openqwaq-video
Make web browser plugin of Squeak work better on all platforms http://gsoc2012.esug.org/projects/browser-plugin
All projects needs a mentor. I'm not familiar with any VM code and I would not be of much help for these issues. I will help with in image Etoys issues.
If you could mentor/ suggest a mentor I would appreciate it.
