Adding a ragel backend for elisp on its own is too small for a gsoc project Using ragelized elisp to rewrite orgmode is a wonderful project, but large. The best solution is to chalk out a subset of the latter and work at that Ive cced the ragel list in case Adrian Thurston, the ragel author, thinks differently For the first Adrian and the ragel list is your best bet. For the second the orgmode list and developers. For myself I am interested and would like to be informed. I dont think I know enough of the internals of either to be the sole responsible party. --14dae9340ef7dbdfdb04bbe76f67 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Can you be my mentor? If no one can I should apply for another project :/

I am rather far from being an org mode developer; ju= st a user.
