Anyway.  Emacs does not work well.  This is a fact that I see many times
when I open shell-processes.

I have the full plan in my mind to execute it.  And all the needed
experience and background.

I cannot work alone.  I need somebody to discuss with him/her and help
me read what I am doing and what's next step.  As this is a a complex
problem and I do not want to lose the time working.  This would be
painful to think to.

I think I will be available to do this in the months
Mars-Avr-May-June-July-Au. If somebody around Paris want to involve in
this, please answer me in the mean time.

If not, I will be available for this task after July 2018 or sporadic.
I think it will take 7-8 week-ends to execute it.  It will be lot of
work.





Alin.
