Mh… I was not expecting you to work during the community bounding
period, but it's your call.

I believe it applies to you as well as anyone else. I've been working
myself on and off on that code for six months without getting it to a
point where it was stable enough to be usable! It's reassuring that you
have previous experience in concurrent programing.

Alright. :)

If you feel you need buffer time, then let's call it that way. :)
I'd rather have it stated as such than promising stuff you should be
doing along the way.
