So, if you are a student, you can help both JNode and Jikes RVM by applying here for Summer of code 2008.

Then, choose the project "Work on the continued integration of the RVM with JNODE" on the Jikes RVM page. This project will look to continue to harmonize development effort of the Jikes RVM with the JNode operating system. We have 3 mentors until now and we need students.
