Hi Edward, this is a great idea! I'll take your offer! I've been trying to get into Leo's code for some time now, so this is an opportunity I cannot miss. But what makes it a so great idea for me is that I happened to find Leo when I started a personal quest, after about 30 years of programming, to *learn to program again, from scratch!* So this is for me the perfect match for both goals.
I've had very few time lately, but I expect to have some more in the coming months, so let's try. But let me warn you: I always like to understand why things work as they do and will try hard to change them for better if I can... so I may be a "problematic student" in a sense. ;-) Do you get the challenge?
