+    <p>Txtorcon is a Twisted-based Python controller library, and Stem is a
+    synchronous (threaded) one, also in Python. There is no need to have
+    two implementations of (at least) the protocol parsing code. This
+    project would entail eliminating duplication by leveraging Stem's
+    parsing in txtorcon while keeping txtorcon's API the same (or at least
+    close).</p>
+    <p>This would very likely involve changes to both libraries, although
+    most would be expected to be in txtorcon. meejah is available to
+    mentor txtorcon changes, and Damian (atagar) can help with Stem.</p>
+    <p>It would help if you're already familiar with event-based programming,
+    bonus points if it's Twisted.</p>
