Ok, I do have an account on that machine. I guess that I need to use
the perforce system to be able to check out things?

Ok.

Ok, so we'll just go for it.

In 1-2 weeks if all goes well. 3-4 weeks if I get short on time. If things
are getting even worse, I'll try at least to get it out *this* year.

I do not expect any difficulties at all.

> How stable do we have to be for your beta release?

I'll just use for a beta release what you have. If things are bad,
then the beta testers should find out. That's hat beta testing is for,
isn't it?

Arg... I have never used IRC or AIM. I do have an ICQ account, but I am
not sure if that is good for discussions with several people. For me,
the easiest thing is email and I have a very fast email connection
(using the university account).

Ok, ok... If you tell me what I need to do, then I can do that, too.
I'd like to work from my linux box, however... And, I am sorry,
what is the time offset between PST and MET (you might just tell me where
I can look that up).
