Hi Jeremy and Eric, Thanks a lot for the invitation. I'd be very glad to contribute in some aspects, but perhaps not in the major part, at least not in the coming couple of years. I will be spending time switching to another field at work, and migrating my twve to TW5.
By the way, is there some version of jQuery included in TW5? I don't seem to find it and that means, if really not, I need to rewrite a good part of twve to remove jQuery dependency. Thanks again for considering me, and sorry that I have to let you down at this time. Have Fun!
