  What meeting exactly? If I see what they work on, maybe I can see
  if I have technology to offer.

  I could spruce up that document for the occasion. If you send me a
  list of questions that would be helpful.

  Up for grabs if somebody wants to take it over. Rewriting it in
  Python would not be hard because the web interfaces is
  written in XSLT, so you don't have to redo that. In fact
  it would probably be quite easy to redo the computations
  in Python, and leave the search in Perl.
