I don't think it is in the community's best interest to respect
Jambunathan's wish. I agree with you that losing code he contributed
would be a loss for the Org community.  Why should our community
sustain such a loss?

On the other hand, I think your GSoC idea is a good one.  Working with
Nicolas' export framework would be a terrific experience for students.
If the GSoC coders come up with a functional replacement for ox-html,
then we can choose to use the replacement, instead.  I guess this would
be Nicolas call as potential mentor?

I think the Org community might want to decide whether or not to accept
patches from Jambunathan K in the future.  I don't think we are under
any obligation to accept his contributions.

All the best,
Tom
