No problem!

Writing an Org parser with Ragel looks like an interesting project in
itself, theoretically speaking -- and you will find great minds around
that will follow and support your progress on this.
But for a GSoC project, we have to think in very practical terms ("how
will this improve the current code-base?) Achim's remarks are good
ones. And remember potential mentors are volunteers, the same ones
that (try to) maintain Org everyday.
Anyway, I'm glad to learn about Ragel. But as I said, my priority
goes to anything that can help Nicolas parser (testing, learning,
adding new backends, etc.)
Thanks,
