Hi Ridham,

I'm copying Mark Johnston, who originally added this project idea a few
years ago.  He's no longer listed on the project because he took some
time off from mentoring, but based on an exchange with someone else who
was interested in the project, he may be available to mentor again this
year.  Mark did say that he still thinks the project would be
worthwhile, though it may not be at the top of the list of the most
immediately useful projects.

Mark may not be able to respond until March 19, though.

Kind regards,
Joe
