1. The rendering code is far from complete, but has enough code as to allow 
you to concentrate on the UI. I don't think there'd enough time to complete 
the UI _and_ MathML loading/saving, but the roadmap looks fine to me (there 
should be time for the UI and some MathML or LaTeX work).

2. I'm short on time but still I could help mentoring the specially on the 
loading/saving and rendering code. If someone else could help on the UI side 
much better. Anyway, i'm not registered as mentor, not sure if i could still 
register, otherwise i'm fine with helping unofficialy if your application gest 
selected.

Cheers
