Dear OpenAFS community,

My name is Nikolaos Kyriakakos and I am a computer science student at
National and Kapodestrian University of Athens.
I=E2=80=99ve reviewed the project idea titled "Enhance OpenAFS Command-Line=
 Tools
with JSON Output" and would like to ask a few clarifying questions to
better understand the scope and expectations:
 - Should the JSON output be added via new flags (e.g., --json) or
integrated into existing output handlers?
 - Are there specific CLI tools prioritized for JSON support (e.g., vos,
fs, pts), or would the contributor propose candidates based on impact?
 - Are there preferred libraries (e.g., jansson) or constraints?
 - Would potential mentors be available to discuss design decisions during
the community bonding period?

My background:
 - C programming: Many university projects
 - JSON: Used in web development projects and work I have done

Thank you for your time=E2=80=94I=E2=80=99m looking forward to collaboratin=
g!
Best regards,
Nikolaos Kyriakakos
