Heya, I like the idea, thanks for proposing it. Maybe, to make it more
appealing for potential students, you could mention in the description
what makes it interesting/challenging. I guess the point there would be
that dak is a complex piece of software, heavily stateful, backed by a
db and various concurrent activities, etc.

Cheers.
