The Facebook Open Academy program is interested in this project. As
potential org admin I want to be sure that this project has community
support.

that's quite in scope if we'd like to touch on something more
system-level than our usual UX fare: there is a serious hole in
reasonably self-contained distributed cron-like schedulers in the open
source world, and I can see a number of valuable uses for one in Tool
Labs (and probably some spots in prod!).
I've had that idea at the back of my mind for some time, and I was
planning on starting it myself but for the lack of actual free time.
This is a very well delineated project of sufficiently modest scope that
a small team of students may well be able to tackle succesfully in that
kind of timeframe, and it's sufficiently generally useful that it makes
for a worthwhile open source project.
Thoughts? Is it worth suggesting and putting forward?
If you ask me, yes, of course!

If community discussion is needed/useful then a good idea would be to
file an enhancement request in Bugzilla linked to the project
description at the wiki page. Anyway we create reports for all the
projects we bring forward in order to track them.
Thank you for stepping in with a project you have the skills to mentor
but don't have the time to depevol yourself. That's the attitude!
