I think its more that hes unsure how to start such project and needs running example to learn from.

I mean, I still remember the days of when I first joined pcmhacking, and asking basic questions such as "what is the difference between hexadecimal and integers", I didn't understand the concept of the two different ways of counting ect. So he could likely come out with something good with guidance.. but needs to give a crack at something like the D-PDU API first, and ask questions as he gets stuck

Pretty sure Youtube touch me 100 fold more then my uni degree did

Regarding the request for Power PC Flasher source in one of the other threads - The PCM Hammer code is open source, so I would suggest that modifying it so that it can handle can bus packets would be a good project. If the app can be made in a tidy way to handle a new protocol and using commonly available protocol information get the OSID, etc when you click get properties a lot will be learnt and standing in the community gained. It will be much simpler than going straight in to implementation of the D-PDU protocol, and it'll be similar but different to how VPW works. It'll need to be able to keep track of the two protocols and need to be able to use a new can bus library to parse those messages.

That would be a great challenge and one I have thought about ...

The PcmHacks suite is pretty intertwined with VPW.
