Hello Charalampos and Mechtilde, That sounds like a great idea, joining a team would make it easier for all of us.
Just for your information, when I said "sysadmin who manages dozens of Debian servers" I meant "university student who self-hosts things as a hobby on dozens of virtual machines" :) What time zones are you both in? I'm sure this will be relevant for our communications at some point. I am in in EST.
