I don't think it is in the community's best interest to respect Jambunathan's wish. I agree with you that losing code he contributed would be a loss for the Org community. Why should our community sustain such a loss? On the other hand, I think your GSoC idea is a good one. Working with Nicolas' export framework would be a terrific experience for students. If the GSoC coders come up with a functional replacement for ox-html, then we can choose to use the replacement, instead. I guess this would be Nicolas call as potential mentor? I think the Org community might want to decide whether or not to accept patches from Jambunathan K in the future. I don't think we are under any obligation to accept his contributions.
