Rieder,
It would be great if you wanted to try this.
Its good for the project with more developers, whatever their interest.
I would say Jazz++ is a good choice for experiments such as this.
On the other hand you should be aware that our port of Jazz++ is only
alpha grade, and
speed of progress varies with the workloads of the developers.
I'm coming out of a workload tunnel right now, and can help you if you
have any questions.
Regards,
