I can also co-mentor if it helps. I'm certainly ready; I didn't propose any projects that I would not also mentor. (However, I won't mentor more than one...) Note that while it's certainly a bonus, porting it to C probably makes the project more difficult and time-consuming. We'll have to see in the proposal timelines however. As for cleanup, my gut feeling right now is that the Perl code can probably cope with incremental cleanups as required for each feature. On the other hand, the C port should start from a clean redesign so as to not rewrite it twice. -- Thomas Rast trast@{inf,student}.ethz.ch
