I know that there are many users here who could do the job. It's a long term commitment, though, and just like JJ&BUM, it will not be brought to finish without a lot of work. Not to mention that the project will need maintenance, patches, etc.

I say let's see who can get a prototype done and we will move on from there. I'm not a member of Conitec's team, but maybe we can all sponsor (at least partially) the project.
