[Sergio Tortosa Benedito <sertorbe@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to join, since I have been focusing somewhat to games (I 
have my own 3d ogre-based engine in the works :) ) it does make sense 
for me to help this project, and also I think the feedback I could get 
it would be very positive, what's more it could be a step forward in 
make the already mentioned engine available in vala, something I though 
would be pretty cool.
