Robert, Thanks for the suggestion which is a good one in hindsight, though at this stage I think old-fashioned SMTP will work just fine - I am not sure that waiting for a wiki to fill with names will actually decrease the inertia of any intending-but-yet-to-commit helpers (and maybe my mail won't either :-) ). We probably have just enough (assuming we don't all come down with the lurgy), but I was offering up the opportunity again. I am sure we could accomodate 20 volunteers, and they would be welcome, but I imagine that they might feel a little under-utilised.
