If there's anything you want to know directly, just ask on the list. I tend to deal with email when I'm not actively coding/building/etc, which is how I justify it. A wiki would require me to sit down for a while and really think about stuff, and I don't really have huge blocks of time available to me. But yeah, always happy to answer direct questions. > >But we do want to have all these pearls available in a structured way in > >maemo.org.

America/Europe is doable if you guys get up early, just as long as no-one from Asia-Pacific wants to join in ... Cheers, Daniel
