It's coming. :) I will have to write a description of what I want to achieve 
with this for my college to look at by this weekend, and I will try to take 
everything said here into consideration when writing that. I will try to 
post a translation of the description here (Or preferably in a new thread) 
once it's handed in.

As for preliminary proposals and the like. You will probably not see too 
much of the kind before the project (hopefully) gets accepted and I am able 
to work full time on it. Right now I am buried in other work that needs 
attention, so I'm not able to dedicate myself completely to this just yet. I 
will try to use any spare moment though!
