Hi Andreas / Tim, This sounds awesome, I am completely happy to go ahead to do the work to get it into Debian Med. Getting it available on standard Linux distros would be really great as well!
Andreas, I would really enjoy to be part of the MoM program, if you have time. What would be the first steps to get started - I expect I should do a bit of reading etc, and join some mailing lists etc?
