Hi Anton,

I'd consider this idea, ie I have some time and motivation, and no 
knowledge.. :-)
Moreover / instead possible personal efforts, I could also look into the 
possibility proposing a dedicated internship to some IT (with an 
emphasis on the "I") student.

Since I do not have a precise perception of the task, what is your 
opinion regarding the internship option ?
Would the migration be indeed feasible in this framework ? For which 
internship duration (1 month, 5 month, .. ?) and which education level 
(license/undergraduate, master/graduate, .. ?)

We can discuss by direct emails if appropriate,


Best,

Jérôme
