+'''Mentors:''' rtems-devel
+
+'''Students:''' Help Wanted
+
+'''Status:''' Planning
+
+'''Introduction:''' Definition of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_compiler#Canadian_Cross Canadian Cross Compiler]. MinGW lacks the capability to build a native gcc-4.7 compiler, the same bug prevents it from building a sparc-rtems4.11-gcc compiler.  
+
+'''Goal:''' What is desired is a clear set of directions for how to build, and distribute, this cross compiler either on Fedora, or on Cygwin.
+
+# '''project deliverables:'''
+## '''code:''' script to generate one big package that can be installed by minGW-get (or other package management tool on Windows)
+## '''docs:''' tutorial that explains how to build such a package. Every line of code commented.
+## '''testing:''' run the script on the build machine (say, Fedora), extract the toolset from the package on a freshly installed version of Windows on a VM, run gcc-testing on toolset on the host machine using a non-x86 target (say sparc), running the ticker demo on a non-x86 target, say sparc
+# '''required/suggested methodology:''' look at the packages for minGW and cygwin, make it match that format.
+# '''standards of quality:''' 
+## '''code:''' the toolset extracts on the host through the utilized package management system, RTEMS can be built successfully, from the toolset.  
+## '''testing:''' Mentors can follow the directions on the tutorial and build the toolset. Targets to be tested are: arm, sparc, i386, others as time allows
+# '''Possible goal extensions beyond the main objective:''' A tutorial explaining how to test the canadian cross-compiler.
+
+'''Requirements:''' List the requirements and level of expertise you estimate are required by the developer tackling this project will have to have: 
+# '''Required level of programming language(s):'''
+## Shell script: moderate
+## Virtual machines: moderate
+# '''specific areas of RTEMS or tools:'''
+## patching
+## building a cross compiler
+## '''Level of familiarity with RTEMS:''' none
+## '''Cross-development:''' moderate
+## '''GNU/Linux:''' moderate
+## '''Development/documentation/testing tools:''' moderate
+## '''Mathematical/algorithmic background:''' none
+## '''Other desirable skills:''' the patience of J*b, and the ability to explain things to people who don't know what your talking about. 
+
+'''Resources:''' Chris Johns, Sebastian Huber, papers, etc that may help you in this project.
