GNUtrition</a></h3>
<p>GNUtrition is free nutrition analysis software written for the GNU
Operating System. The US Department of Agriculture, Nutrient Database of
Standard Reference is used as the source of food nutrient information.</p>

<h4>Use SQLite</h4>
<p>GNUtrition is written in Python and uses MySQL as a database backend.
This task is to switch the backend to SQLite. In this way GNUtrition can
read and write the database file directly and eliminate a dependency. When
someone upgrades to this new version of GNUtrition it must be able to
handle the transition from MySQL to SQLite for them.<p>
<h4>Update the food database</h4>
<p>The current version of the food database is from 1999, and is very old.
This task is to update to the current version. The USDA's database format
has changed since the 1999 version and so updates to GNUtrition itself will
likely be required as well.</p>
<h4>Reimplement in C</h4>
<p>GNUtrition is currently written in Python. This task is to reimplement
the program in C, retaining all current features and functionality.</p>
