That makes it much more likely for the mentors to notice your email and discuss it for you. I added Christian, who's listed as possible mentor on the project page to Cc: here.

The prerequisites are stated on the project page. The languages you'll need to know are C and shell. More importantly though, you should get familiar enough with the project to discuss it here. Did you read the links that are provided on the project page? If there is anything unclear about the project you should try to ask more specific questions, that show that you have done your homework and gave the proposed project a bit more thoughts. That shows your interest in the project, and we can give you much better answers. Just asking for help in a very general manner makes it very hard for us to give you a good response. One of the criteria for choosing students is going to be how well fleshed out the project proposal is going to be. As an aside, the patches you sent for your microproject received a few comments. Apart from the project proposal, it's also important to try and address those comments, to show how you interact with your mentors and other people on the mailing list.
