+
+ Yes it seems very likely that I would get some time this week, as I'm
+finishing a project that I had to do today.
+ By all means to help if you want to :-)
+ I'll be available tomorrow if you would like to have a look at the conflict
+that you have.
+
+ I will also go through the proposed changes and the spec that you have put
+in the wiki, and ask if I have any questions.
