I don't think, I'd have the time to function as a technical mentor for RKWard, 
so I'm not going to register RKWard. However, if you feel up to that task, 
that would certainly be an exciting oppurtunity, and I'd try to help out here 
and there, as needed.

Also, a usability review of our plugins alone, or even just a small sub-set of 
our plugins would offer ample oppurtunities for usability students, and 
RKWard alike. That is, depending on the task, a technical mentor would not 
even have to be a core/C++-coder.

So, if you think you're going to have the time, skill, and motivation between 
May and August, speak up, and we'll develop some ideas on what tasks we could 
define for the Season of Usability. Just don't wait for me to take the first 
step.

Regards
Thomas
