Great!

First of all, make sure someone can co-mentor this project. I'm willing
to mentor this (as the current maintainer it makes sense, especially for
people judging the project from the outside), but having Carsten as a
co-mentor would be a great win. Make sure Carsten (cc'ed) is okay.
Carsten, being a co-mentor involves mainly three things:
1. registering on google-melange.com
2. from there, requesting to be a mentor for the GNU project
3. during the project, help the student and have IRC/phone meetings,
at least when I'm not here (I expect to be off for 2-3 weeks this
summer, I will tell when ASAP)

1. First things thing: you should rewrite the "summary" section to
remove the "I believe" and other informal writing from Carsten's
prose. Make it yours, make it a real summary.
2. Refer to org-element.el when you mention the Data representation.
org-element.el will be key in representing data and diffs between
data (at any level.)
3. Add a documentation section, explaining what doc you will write and
how you you will write/host it (worg is fine.)

You can look at org-element.el for the data representation.

Send me your public key.

This mailing list *is* the appropriate place, no worry.
Thanks again for your proposal, this would be a great plus for Org!
Best,
