GSoC sounds like a viable workaround.
It'd hahve to wait for next year, though.
I think I'm elligible, so if I still have access to these boards and
Boris can mentor me, we could get funding to speed up the development.
I'd be happy to donate it to have another developer, as I'm already
kinda being paid for this.
What do you think of that?
