Working on the Self VM

Hi guys,

I'm sure you are all aware of the Self language. In the last year or so 
I have been working on bringing it back into life as a community driven 
open source project by putting sources on Github at 
github.com/russellallen/self, creating the selflanguage.org website and 
so on.

The Self VM is a large-ish C++ codebase that compiles on reasonably 
recent versions of GCC on Linux and on Mac OS X. It would compile on the 
latest versions of each of those with a little work. My experience has 
been that the VM is quite fast and reasonably stable; my primary 
interest in it is as a base for running the Self language.

I'm looking for someone with experience in C++ and a desire to work on 
a high performance virtual machine to do some paid work on the Self VM. 
Experience of Cocoa would be also highly desirable. The work would be 
casual and would, at least to begin with, involve cleaning up the 
existing source tree and ensuring easy compilation on Linux and on Mac 
OS X. The results would be released as Open Source under the normal 
MIT-like Self licence. More interesting changes might be possible as a 
next step after that, time and money depending.

So if you, or someone you know, has the skill and interest in this area 
and some spare time (!) please get in contact with me,

Cheers,

Russell
