Kinda funny... days ago before the Outreachy projects went public, I was concerned that nobody would care about this project because it appears to be the only Java project in the Outreachy catalog for this season. It seems Outreachy targets other skills. And, let's face it, it's not some hot new feature. But this acted in my/our favor because candidates wanting to do Java have only this project to choose. So now there seems to be maybe a half dozen or so candidates; not sure. :-D It will be painful to pick just one candidate. In retrospect, the whole V2 API maybe could have been its own additional project. Ah well; there's next season for new projects :-)
