Hi Ali, As far as I know from gaming experience, Israel timezone is +4 then mine, but it's closer than S. Francisco, where it's +6 :-o
Yes, I've heard that about your IRC taste. Was hoping to find you there last night since you mentioned on a blueprint that informal meetings used to happen after 8 pm on our IRC channel. Anyway, now I know why there was no meeting and why this project is growing slowly. I appreciate your email offer, but I have to decline for now. I don't find that very useful since the project is growing slowly and all the things that need to be done are out of my skill set. For that, and since I find it hard to control more then 1 account, I have to decline your offer. Perhaps in the future, when things get bigger, I'll accept that email, even to discuss some formal matters with other teams/people. I've joined 3 projects for now. All them are related within the same matters. I believe I'll be able to handle them all quite easily, as long as there's teamwork which is something I expect to happen. Perhaps I'll stick with the one which needs me more and my skill sets - which I know it's not all of them obviously. Thanks for replying!
