Well... A lot of small things shouldn't be too hard to learn, but I
imagine that with only a few months time, candidates would like to 
get down to coding rather than study theory first. What do others think?

Of course.

There's one little problem still: So far, only Jamie has indicated that
he'd be willing to mentor the Tracker part of this project. Do you think
you could handle the code part? Myself, I have a firm grasp of the
concepts and UI ideas and I could assist with that, but completely suck
at C so I don't think I'd be much help in that regard.
