Aloha Abhijit,

I really like that you want to step to the plate, however you'd (or we)
first need to find out who would become the owner when you give in this
project for school. I know that my school has a clause that any project
handed in as assessment material is property of the school for about 5 years
afaik. So we'd have to be sure it can be done. Other then that you'd have my
blessing.

With metta,

Chris Druif
