Ken,

a test sounds good - I can generally be on squeak irc between 16:00 and 05:00 
GMT to communicate, but more time consuming work (if I can meaningfully help) 
I can do towards the end of that time span after 23:00 GMT. I missed today 
(Tuesday) I will connect tomorrow much of the day (my id is mzimmermann)

Later Milan
