 He knows our MP server setup best. Beside this he has already done a lot of work on the MP server himself. So he probably has most knowledge about it and, being one of our MP-developers, might provide important help from the perspective of the MP player community and what is needed there.

-Many of the possible projects involve the code for which he is an area expert. Also, many of the possible projects currently listed on the ideas page require GUI parts to work. Mordante is currently busy rewriting the old gui engine, he will be our expert there as well as already being our area expert for the terrain engine. He also has limited experience with boost asio.

Although he is by no means an expert on Lua, he may also be able to help with Wesnoth-specific Lua questions. Finally, as one of our server administrators, he can also answer most questions about our current configuration or help you with any problems you encounter with the forums, wiki, or add-ons server.

 iurii chernyi (Crab) has joined the team in 2009. He restructured Wesnoth AI as part of GSoC-2009, and is an expert on all aspects of current Wesnoth AI codebase. So, he's the person to ask about anything in '''src/ai'''. He also knows much about campaign units/leaders persistence.

 Has been involved with multiplayer balance and testing for a number of years.  Currently working on balancing the default+khalifate era, but interested in, and often available for, testing various aspects game play or mechanics.  A good person to bug about getting feedback from the multiplayer community about any relevant issue.

 These people are currently not actively participating in development and are likely not available to help. You can always try, of course. They may also not be entirely up-to-date regarding their areas of expertise anymore.

 ESR is our project toolsmith; he has written several tools that semi-automate various aspects of WML maintenance.  While most of our developers/designers concentrate on either the C++ core or WML but not both, he has a balanced understanding of both levels and may be helpful in helping students develop a grasp of the overall architecture.  Finally, he did the last overhaul of the Wesnoth UI and understands UI design principles; he is well-equipped to guide students working in that area.
