welcome, Bazaar summer-of-code students

[Alexander Haro`]

Hello everyone,

First of all, I would like to say I am very excited about working on this
project.  I would also like to thank both Google and my mentors for allowing
me this opportunity.

I have taken a look at TortoiseBzr and it would be the perfect starting
point for my project.  I am willing to pick up from here and implement the
ideas on the TODO list if that is okay with Henry.  Along with the ideas
from the TODO list, I would also like to implement an interface that would
allow plugin writers to add their own commands to the context menu.   I am
free and open to all other suggestions of what everyone would like to see
implemented.

Thanks once again,
Alexander
