The proposal is about reusing (developing) existing code: "texshow is 
web-based tool for displaying ConTeXt documentation. It is in need of 
significant work."

Ruby-on-Rails is a leading open source web development frameworks. 
Django (which I'm learning) is another.

If I were a student interested in working on texshow, I would like to 
see the code before applying.  And the code not being available makes up 
look bad with Google (who host a lot of open-source code themselves).

My view is that if the source to texshow is not published soon, than it 
may be better to withdraw the proposal.
