With luck the coming weeks. Although I've said that before...

I've done abacus, sdz will do the rest when he awakes.

It generally shouldn't be a problem. Nothing happens until you "push"
to central and in that case you'll get conflicts. Generally it won't
be a problem. sdz is busy at uni and I'm quite happy to let you take
the lead on them so basically i'll leave them to you to deal with
unless you want help with a particular problem.

BTW do you have a XO laptop?
