Hi Dishara,
Congratulations, you achieved everything you set out to and showed a
real willingness to work with the Sling community, which for all those
that know the Apache way is possibly more important than rock star
coding. I am sure that others will build on what you have discovered
and created.

Should you find that you want to continue working on Sling with the
community in the coming months your contributions will be welcomed.

Finally, good luck in your continuing student life and if this year
was your final year, best of luck in your finals.

Best Regards
Ian
