Posting the response here, as I got timed out by the wiki (again).

Not trying to be rude to your efforts in what you have written, but I felt it was most appropriate to respond in honesty of my feelings.

I thank you very much for what praise you have given me, and the desire to collaborate with me on projects. However, not only am I handful with other project, but I do not take up students/apprentices. To me, I am not a community leader, neither am I some great teacher. I am simply a passionate man who has placed myself on stilts of high standards. I will have to reject your request for apprenticeship and partnership as I do have a busy life as you have noticed.

What you can contribute to this community I've been a part of is to continually submit ideas and review other concepts. However, repeated releases or harsh criticism is not the way, as we not attempting to compete with each other. We've had others who went a bit too far into dedication and their works did not receive good impressions; this is a community, not a contest. I stress this since it's hard for newcomers and returnees, or anyone else including myself, to gauge how serious one should be with these concepts. If you want to start somewhere, a review of all my concepts would be lovely than simply leaving them at praises over my general work. I'll see if I can see to your own concepts, as some of those I have skimmed have been admirable.

Otherwise, have a nice day and hope to hear from you soon.
