After I asked here I also posted a comment on
http://news.perlfoundation.org/2013/03/2013q2-call-for-grant-proposal.html
regarding Act and regarding project proposals. Is BooK's plan
available somewhere? Could you post a link to it on the
call for grants so people could consider doing it or at least part of it?
