Yes, I would like that, though I can't promise to do much integration
work very quickly myself.

I think it should be there instead of mergeant, because it actually does
things. Mergeant is more of a developer's tool, offering easier ways to
use SQL, instead of offering higher-level functionality that regular
users actually need.

Not sure if this is the right place and time to ask this, but I was
curious anyway...

I haven't followed Glom closely. However, I wonder if you plan to make
it like part of the GNOME Office "suite".

My personal opinion is that it's okay to add them to the list. You can
also try to be a mentoring organization if you prefer or have any doubt.

A big tent approach seems sane. Please add your ideas to the page, and
if you get candidates, I'm sure there will be no problem having you as a
GNOME mentor.

Cheers,
Dave.

I have some Glom tasks that are quite involved. They seem suitable
because
a) They need some investigation and hacking time
b) They don't need development of any fundamentally new techniques or
technologies.

It's not an official part of GNOME, but I wonder if it would be OK to
add them to the GNOME list?

Great, I added my ideas there. I'd be willing to be a mentor for those
if necessary.

When/If module maintainers are to be contacted, please drop me a note. I
have a couple of interesting projects for a committed student, in
different areas of the Desktop.
