So, as an experienced org-mode developper you're saying it's very
hard? I should focus on the ragel part in the application and try to
go as far as i can for org-mode then. I still need something I can be
evaluated to for the mid-term and final evaluation.

Can you be my mentor? If no one can I should apply for another project :/

I am rather far from being an org mode developer; just a user.

Adding a ragel backend for elisp on its own is too small for a gsoc project
Using ragelized elisp to rewrite orgmode is a wonderful project, but large.

The best solution is to chalk out a subset of the latter and work at that

Ive cced the ragel list in case Adrian Thurston, the ragel author, thinks differently

For the first Adrian and the ragel list is your best bet.
For the second the orgmode list and developers.

For myself I am interested and would like to be informed. I dont think I know enough of the internals of either to be the sole responsible party.
