indeed, i'm the principal mentor for this project, though as mentioned Ian-Woo will hopefully be helping out too.
I'm going to *help* focus the project on being a tool thats not focused on QT, though if something nice can be worked out in that direction, great! indeed, I suspect Edward, Ian-Woo and I will spend some small amount of time at HackPhi trying to figure out some good avenues of attack to make this a successful project that is used by the community and as actively maintained. cheers -Carter On Wed, May 29, 2013 at 12:55 PM, Edward Kmett <ekm...@gmail.com> wrote: > When submissions are put in, there is a way for mentors to talk to > students to ask for more details.
