I am also ready and yes, a separate group discussion/chat would be better so that it won't disturb other folks here (secondary would be that email chats are a bit confusing at times). Or otherwise, Skype works too.
About the drives, I guess Dropbox/OneDrive/Google Drive are similar (at least for me). So I am fine with whatever you all decide upon. And yeah. I will also contribute as much as possible(that goes without saying). Can everybody who is contributing tell their location/GMT so that we could have a better understanding of when to disturb each other? Mine would be Mumbai, India (GMT +5:30) On Fri, Jan 9, 2015 at 10:54 PM, Keith I Myers <[email protected]> wrote: > I completely understand Patrik and am willing to make as many sacrifices > as needed to ensure that this gets done.
