[Babel-users] Lookingfor

[jp at nexedi.com]

Hi,

Thank you for all your ideas. I am actually just looking for a good PhD student with ability to write code either in babeld and/or in re6st (http://git.erp5.org/gitweb/re6stnet.git?js=1).

Then it will be his or her choice to decide what he or she prefers to work on.

Regards,

JPS.
