Hey everyone, After talking to the people at my university, it seems like it is unlikely that I will be able to get involved as part of the university project. But once I have some time, I will look through the open issues and see if there is anything I can do :)
Apologies for making you guys wait around so long, the process of talking to people has been much more long-winded than I anticipated.
