+Hello Luke,
+
+This is a complicated matter. As a team of one, I have limited resources,
+so I must prioritize (and I know myself, I'm not very good at that).
+Anyway, the short term goal is to have the 180nm circuit done and
+working by October. In order to do that I/we must not "finish"
+Coriolis, but put it to a point it can fulfil that objective.
+I'm convinced it is doable, but we should go straight to the point,
+because I'm sure that lots of unexpected issues will pop-up and
+I will have to tackle them quickly.
+
+My "development cycle" are alternate steps of "adding features" then
+"improve code at constant features".
+
+So, having more hands will really be a plus (as you already proposed in
+an early mail). The problem is to have someone(s) with that triple skills
+(ASIC, algorithmic, software) and it has been proven difficult on my
+end. To have an example of the kind of code I get, you could take a
+look to the whole capacitor stuff in coriolis/oroshi/python/
+(and you will easily see where I modified the code with my unique
+ coding style). This was made by a good electrical engineer, but
+with embryonic software knowledge. The code is to draw the layout
+of one or a matrix of analog capacitors. The comments are made for
+doxygen.
+
+And besides, all of our students have already chosen their internship
+(in the industry). I think we may have a good one in June.
+And lastly, due to the Covid-19 and University shutdown we cannot
+hire anybody, should we have a candidate.
+
+I absolutely do not want to give you the impression that I do not
+want more people working on Coriolis, quite the contrary.
+But I want to expose the context as rightfully as it is.
+The question being how to circumvent those initial conditions
+to get more efficient people working on Coriolis?
+
+I've taken a look at GNUstep, it seems a bit quite by there...
+(maybe I was on the wrong site). For the record, WidowMaker is
+one of the more memory efficient window manager I have ever seen
+(still can work on my UltraSparc 1 / NetBSD).
+
+However I will remove Boost as soon as possible, it has proven to
+be a pebble in my shoes for too long. And migrating towards Python3.
+
+I'm currently making my Python code a bit more PEP8 compliant then
+backporting some of the work of Jock in soclayout. *But* I will keep
+some style that you may find bad. Paradox is that the "comma" at the
+start of line was showed to me by an early Python adopter back around
+2000...
+
