Dear Magnus, I hope you don't mind me jumping into the thread. Your last comment sparked my enthusiasm and will to help. If you need me as a rookie to contribute or coordinate with newcomers to Time Nuts, I will be more than glad to do it. Also if you need help with the Wiki I could offer time to do it. I have some resources that could be used for these matters. Thanks.
