Of course, if there is a project of immediate mutual interest, I (or others) would be happy to collaborate. It is perhaps a good idea to advertise such projects on (say) the sanskrit programmers mailing list to see if there are takers.The list seems rather dead, even Dhaval's posts which are easy to understand and contribute get no reaction.
Let's try a Skype conference?
Actually, Oliver answers emails as well, so a lot can be done, if there is more than me and him.Sometimes he does, sure. There was talk about making DCS open source ( https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sanskrit-programmers/Zdj80IzI--U/3tvh-F8xCAAJ ) , and there seemed to be some warm response. Nothing after that - so I wonder if he's made up his mind.To makes up his mind I've been emailing him since 2010. Every year. A few times. It's not a matter of one email. Please write again. And one month after. I've been speaking on skype on that with him, asking people who meet him to remind that. It's you who can make warm hot and not he.
