After such a motivating mail, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you all for making ESME a reality and trusting me to be a part of it. I think I'm the only one who hasn't seen anyone of the team in person, and I owe this in a significant part to micro-messaging. I believe in ESME as born out of the desire to take the best from micro-messaging and I believe in this team, because I watched it grow with the unbiased eye of an outsider. ESME has had its ups and downs, but I also share David's opinion that we're at the start of something big. I'd mostly like to take part of internal message routing- that's what also one of the motivators to get serious about contributing to ESME. I've also done some research and steps on ESME REST API and compatibility with Twitter. If noone objects, I'd like to take responsibility for these for now. Since there are more tasks than committers right now, I'm also interested in Internal APIs and plugin mechanism and maybe information pools and access control, if time permits. All the best, Vassil
