It seems like we have similar ideas of how we can mutually benefit.
Would you be interested in doing a project just to say we did? I would be willing to donate some parts to the project to be included.
I think it would be interesting to build and document a project together in public. We would be very early if not the first to do it and document everything including all of our interactions good and bad.
It could be useful for both sides to learn from our process and for the history books.
