-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Good Morning!
As I have told Pasi yesterday on #xubuntu-devel, I'm capable and willing to work on this from October on. Before that I won't be able to do so. I have already subscribed to the relevant parts on Launchpad, and if I find anything I can already do in my spare time, I will certainly do that, too. All the best, Alex I encrypt Mails using PGP.
