+
+## Python and R Interface for Pigeons
+
+Pigeons allows users to scale their Bayesian computation on up to thousands of 
+machines. At the moment, the only available API is through the Julia programming 
+language. To reach a wider audience, we would like to extend this to Python and R.
+Work on this project would include: 
+
+- Development of a new Pigeons interface in Python and/or R.
+
+- Testing of the new interface to ensure identical output to Julia.  
+
+- Engaging with researchers interested in using a Python/R interface and implementing additional suggested features. 
+
+**Recommended Skills:** Familiarity with Python and/or R. A basic knowledge of 
+statistical concepts and a desire to learn the basics of Julia.
+
+**Expected Results:** An interface for Pigeons in either Python or R (or both). 
+
+**Mentors:** Alexandre Bouchard-Côté, Trevor Campbell, and Nikola Surjanovic
+
+**Expected Project Size:** 175 hours or 350 hours. 
+
+**Difficulty:** Medium.
