I am totally up for it.
I would still like to do something or at least share a thought or two with
anyone else about it.
It was mentioned today in a call tho, that there might be a problem with
it, since we are not building something "reusable".

My thought was that we could appeal to some people that have gained
knowledge about how to build stuff, from us and ask them to contribute.

Good point has been raised by Philipp and Dirk tho, that in order for us to
attract people and ask them for help there have to be some tasks speced out
which takes time.
