Yes, this is the kind of stuff I had in mind, among others.

I think *if* there should be an application it will be by someone who has 
actual needs, not someone with the big picture in mind. And this ud basically a 
good thing because it provides the necessary enthusiasm.

mentor's and the community's duty as one of taking care of the abstract value 
of the development.
