Hi Dimuthu and Bhargav,

First, just to say congratulations to you both on successfully completing
GSOC this year; I hope you enjoyed doing the work and learnt some new
stuff, with the added bonus of getting paid by Google!

You might have seen that Google's open source blog contains posted a short
piece [1] that the ASF provided about several of its GSOC projects.  I
contributed a couple of paragraphs about your projects, so your successful
involvement on GSOC 2013 is now on public record!

As I said in that post, I believe that you are both keen to continue
developing your respective viewers.  What I would therefore like to do is
to copy over the code from your github repos (as a mega-patch in each case)
into the Isis codebase... you have both lodged ICLAs with the ASF secretary
so I don't think there's any further paperwork required.

In order for you to continue developing the viewers it would mean, in the
short-term, that you would need to raise tickets and provide patches.
 Later, though - once there's enough evidence to the community of ongoing
involvement - I would put a vote forward for you to become committers so
you can continue to develop them directly.

Of course, with your projects as part of Isis codebase, there's the chance
that others may want to take your work and develop it further; that's to be
expected, of course.

Let me know if you have any objections to the above, otherwise I'll copy
the code over later this week/early next.

Cheers
Dan

PS: I must also say thanks to Maurizio for co-mentoring Dimuthu and
Bhargav; your in-depth technical expertise of Android/Javascript was
invaluable!
