Hi Ashwani!

    Currently we have a web server, a bazaar repository, some example modules, 
and a few primitive test tools (see ccan_tools).  The main purpose of the SoC 
is to provide the tools so others can feed the repository, and make the code 
repository available in a useful form.

    Given we are in such an early state, the successful applicant(s) will have 
a significant influence on the project.  I recommend you peruse the Wiki to 
see where we plan to go, and see if it aligns with what you want to do.

Hope that helps,
Rusty.
