I apologize for not getting back to the project about this email  
earlier. I've been working on finishing up a thesis. I had intended  
to submit an application for this project to Google, but I foolishly  
misread the project page and thought the deadline was *tonight* at  
midnight, when in reality it was *last* night at midnight.  
Unfortunately I did not get an application submitted; however, I am  
still interested in the idea and may work on the feature during my  
own time in the coming months.


Regards,
-- Michael
