Hi Lewis, As I mentioned in our earlier conversation, I'd be happy to help!
I'm in the UTC+2 timezone so hopefully I should be available for live support for most of your working hours. I suggest setting up a dedicated channel for online communication, e.g. an IRC channel or Zulip stream (with Zulip I'll also be available via my phone.) Please update ASAP regarding the exact dates so I can let you know when I'll be available and try to increase my availability during that period. I am unfortunately barely familiar with most of the interest areas you've mentioned, with unittest being the exception. I'll still be able to assist, but perhaps not as well as an expert on these would be. I suggest contacting the experts on the relevant library modules directly regarding this, mostly to ask what they think would be most helpful and whether they have any preferences or requests, but also regarding their availability to help before, during and after. - Tal Einat P.S. Apologies for the delayed reply, I'm working back through my email backlog after a vacation.
