I think so!
Just to note, David has already registered as a mentor; I don't have any
specific idea how to work things out in this situation, but what I do have is
appreciation for all the mentoring and help during the planning and coding
phase that I can -- and apparently will -- get :-)
I did not submit my proposal yet, I'll post it to the lists when I do.
Just to add for interested parties: Mailing list for coordination within GNU is
address@hidden, in case someone wants to track that.
Regards,
Ivan Vučica
