Hi Severin I would be willing to lead/participate a monitoring if You/Pierre/Others would be willing to mentor me. I am not sure what the time requirement would be but I could manage two-three hours per day at the moment. My learning curve would be a little steep initially as I have only used TM but I would like to learn the HOT tools and get more involved.
I live in GMT+8 (Philippines) and have IRC (recently installed) so if you would like to point me where to go on IRC to get started and ask questions, I will get on with the job.
