I'd volunteer to meet in IRC meetings, but I'm not hanging around in
IRC regularly.

If the task is "getting a list" I feel perfectly competent - feel free to
flood my mailbox with any list. ;-))

I could try to do good gesses so you can count me into the team of
schedule creators.

Thanks for the warning. I hope it is not ignorant if I try to be in the boat
despite of it.

Well, this would disqualify myself because I was not involved in DC7
organisation. Take my mail as "offer for help if needed".

... or improve the old ones? ;-)
Well, I'm aware that this seat is kind of hot and yoou can not fit all
peoples expectations.
Question: Are there any experiences with tools like time table planers?
Kind regards
Andreas.
