[ale] [OT] Two weeks in, the difficulties mount

[Christopher Hagler]

I would definitely be interested in joining. I have not done any major
programming in C and assembly langauge since college, but I am confident I
will be able to pick it back up after a short review. I just joined the
mailing list, so I missed all of the details and the previous
conversations. However, if there is anything that I need to know, you can
just send me a direct email. Also, I have been toying around with C in my
spare time. I am currently implementing a compiler and a home automation
framework that is all written in C. If you would like to work on these
projects, you are more than welcome too.

This sounds like it is going to be a lot of fun, and I look forward to
working with you.
