Interested in being paid to build a skeleton Torcs driving robot in C#?

Hi;

My first post to this alias:

I would like to build a Torcs driving robot in C#. However, I'm just getting
up to speed on Torcs and have many other coding tasks ahead of me.

I was therefore wondering if there are people out there who are looking to
make money, have time, and could wrap the necessary Torcs APIs.

I realize that there are actually 2 levels:

   - the set of things the Torcs world provides the driving robot
   - the complete set of random and cool functions a driving robot written
   in C# could possibly want to do its job.

I am not really familiar with the difference between those two tasks but am
willing to work with someone to define this.

If you are interested, please tell me:
Your thoughts on this task
What do you do? How many hours per week could you work on this? (Working
part-time is totally fine if you can do an hour or 2 a day!) When can you
start?
Would you have time for further work after or are you "between jobs?"
What is your familiarity with Torcs and Mono/.Net?

Note that I have considered doing a Java API, but I like C# more, and once
we have a C# API, it is easy for anyone else to build a Java API. Also, Mono
has compilers for more platforms than Java:
x86<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86>,
SPARC <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARC>,
PowerPC<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC>,
ARM <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture>,
S390<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S390>(in 32-bit and 64-bit mode),
and
x86-64 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD64>,
IA64<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IA64>and SPARC for 64-bit modes.

I only use Linux and it would need to work on Mono on Linux.

If you are interested please reply to me!

I will send follow-up status e-mails about this project to this alias if
people are interested. This will be free software, so maybe it could even
make it back into the official torcs codebase one day?

Thanks!

-Keith
