Although I don't want to compete with Axel and Ingo ;-), let me say for
completeness sake, that I would also be up for it. I am in the process of
getting a job where I moved, but I have no idea how much time I could spend
on it, probably not very much at first anyway. I'll know more tomorrow
night.
Should we come up with a prioritized list of tasks and then collectively
decide who would be our best guy among the willing devs (as potential for
awkwardness, though)? Or should each dev make one or more project proposals
and then everyone gets to vote on these?
Best regards,
