I am thinking about be a developer of your project for do my final
academic work. If you like that, you could bring me a TODO list with
some tasks that I can do as parallel as possible.

I will study all task of this TODO list with my mentor, because he has
to approve it. Like a final academic work, my time and resources are
limited.

Thank you for your collaboration
