Looks appropriate, however i'm not sure if i understood it correctly.
You mean sth like:
Rewrite font building system.  Create a robust, scalable and easily
maintainable system for creating Open Type Fonts from Metafont code
(merging and dividing fontsets, handling different design sizes) using
Fontforge's built-in Python scripting support.  Requirements: Python,
basic font and Metafont skills.
Han-Wen, could you confirm that i got it right?

cheers,
Janek
