Re: Google Summer of Code -- 3 Org projects for our first participation!

[Andrew Young <youngar17@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Thank you Bastien for working so hard to get Org-mode 3 slots, I know
most other Gnu projects only received one slot.  I'm really excited to
be able to work on this project!

Thank you to every one else involved as well!

Best,
Andrew
