[Systems] [IAEP] [Sugar-devel] This list in need YOUR help

[Martin Dengler]

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks.  I hope I can be of help.  If you are comfortable emailing me the admin
password, that's fine (my PGP key is http://www.martindengler.com/pubkey.asc if
you want to encrypt the email).  Or you can text / phone me on +447786126209 if
you prefer.  If there's another way you would like, please let me know.  I will
keep the password safe.

Martin
