Hi Brett, This is perfect. We do have a few other projects looking to develop tests using Selenium and we should see some synergy there in terms of learning curve for students. As next steps I will go ahead and initiate the project with the links you shared and send you an invite to be the mentor. In parallel will work with the students group to pick the interested ones so that you get connected.
