It would be great if you'd hang around and contribute :-) Even if you can't find coding time ATM, contributing to discussions on the mailing lists or in JIRA would be really valuable. GSOC is a cool programme but requires a high intensity level. At Apache, our traditional way is less intense. We're a volunteer community and all understand that people work as they wish, fitting Apache into their lifestyle. The GSOC programme length is orders of magnitude longer than our usual contribution cycle. Most contributions tend to be small, our development process finely grained and our components loosely coupled. We prefer small contributions - perhaps the work of one or two evenings at most. This allows patches to be reviewed, integrated easily and quickly, and provenance clear to establish. > Thank you for all of your suggestion on my proposal.

If you could find a few moments to attach the proposal as comments to the JIRA issues, then that would give us the legal permissions we need.
