Dear all,
I'm the maintainer of Emacs org-mode (http://orgmode.org).
Thorsten is a student, interested in working on combining Org and
Picolisp as a GSOC project. He is currently refining his idea and
defining deliverables for the project, but here is an overview:
"Orgmode is great to produce static webpages. But its AFAIK
impossible to build webapplication in orgmode that interact with the
user. That is extremely efficient with the PicoLisp application
framework - a web-GUI that acts directly on the underlying
object-oriented data-bases, everything written in lisp and part of the
language.
The idea is to combine both things - use orgmode as a webdesign tool
and picolisp for the logic and db. export org files with picolisp
source blocks that produce html forms embedded in the static
orgmode-html, making it possible to get data from the user and present
him results of his queries, i.e. do real interactive webprogramming on
top of a (lisp) database in orgmode."

I'm cc'ing Chong Yidong, co-maintainer of Emacs, who supports this idea.
I'm volunteering to be the mentor for this project -- once the project's
description is available, we will surely look for a secondary co-mentor.
I'd like to know if GNU is willing to submit this project as a mentoring
organization.
If so, what is the next step we need to undertake?
Thanks a lot!
