These are great news, indeed! I very much appreciate as well how you 
present your proposal and second your plan on how to maintain the 
activity. At the moment, it is important to do the minimum to keep it 
alive. As well sharing the load by having a peer is a really good idea.

If we have others following your example we will be in a much better 
position soon.

Thanks to you Sascha and Lucian!
