Redtamarin: AS3 running on the command line / server side
Basically, based out of the Tamarin [1] / avmplus [2] open source project (not updated anymore) the goal is to develop the runtime to support more native functionalities and other system calls.
It is about the ActionScript 3.0 language and the ActionScript Virtual Machine (AVM2), and how to port those to the command-line and server-side and "compete" with many other languages like Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, etc.
So yeah it is probably less sexy than to work on popular JS stuff :D
It's not about cloning V8/Node and do it with AVM2/AS3, it's more about providing the native calls, the tools to let other developers build their own clone of Node.js if they want to.
It's not about producing a "Flash Player clone" either.
Current release is 0.4.1, v0.4.2 coming up next week.

Skills needed: C/C++ (hardcore level), ActionScript 3.0 (advanced level), both or one of the other, any other skills also welcome (svn the odd stuff like marketing/sales)
