 === Finishing off Form Templates ===
-* '''Complexity:''' Medium
+* '''Complexity:''' Hard
 
 Last year, a GSOC project worked on replacing the internal Django code that renders forms with a templated system, allowing for much better flexibility and customisability of forms, fields, and related components in the forms framework. The current code can be found here: https://github.com/gregmuellegger/django/commits/soc2011/form-rendering
 
-One of the main issues with the branch last year was that the template renderer was not fast enough on large numbers of includes and extends, meaning that the new form templates, while modular, were slower than the current forms system. One of the main tasks will thus be to investigate, and hopefully implement, ways to improve the rendering speed of the form templates. 
+The main issue with the branch last year was that the template renderer was not fast enough on large numbers of includes and extends, meaning that the new form templates, while modular, were slower than the current forms system. The major task with this project would be to address the speed issue. Note that this was attempted last year, and didn't work out so well - if you want to take on this project, we'll want to see a clear plan of how you attempt to address the issue and some proof that you're capable of pulling it off.
