Yeah, after reading that, I knew you couldn't be an American college 
student.  Most of them can barely afford to buy books and Ramen noodles, 
never to hire a programmer.  :D

I love the idea you have.  Unfortunately, I'm not much of an elisp 
hacker (though I have written a few nice functions that have been 
extremely useful over the years).  I would suggest (1) finding some 
webspace for your project... I'll let others make suggestions for that. 
  And (2), on that webspace make a prioritized list of the functions you 
want (describing the functionality well)... and ask about them here on 
this list too.  You may find that there are the same or similar 
functions already available in the vast emacs code base.  And as the 
FOSS developers say, "there's no sense in re-inventing the wheel."

As your project develops, you'll be able to move items on your "todo" 
list to your "done" list and thereby document your academic-emacs project.

Viel Glück,
kf
