Hi Roy,

Thank you for your interest! Your background sounds great. I like Django
too, but think it may be overkill for this particular project. Nothing is
set in stone, though, and I appreciate suggestions on the tech stack we end
up going with. A few other people have expressed interest too, so I will
give it a few days and get back to everybody early next week. If you have
any questions in the meantime, please let me know.
