I think it should probably have been removed from the micro-project list. I am CC'ing Peff as he wrote the email listing the different options to solve the original issue and may think otherwise. > How should I tackle this? It's a good first step to ask first on the list as you did if it is a good micro-project or not. Unfortunately in this case I think you might want to try to find another micro-project.
