Hi Franz,
Thanks for your detailed explanation. As far as my understanding, I will
have to have a good understanding about Saros source and IntelliJ IDEA
source also. So I started looking into IDEA source . Hopefully I'll be able
to get a good understanding on both before the application period ends and
create a good project proposal.
Meanwhile I will forward all my technical questions to you and the email
list. Really thrilled and looking forward to work on this project.
Thank you.
