Hi, I'm willing to give a hand with this. I'm familiar with Drupal - but I'm not a mastah - so I suppose I could be used to copy texts from the old website/the main Ubuntu website. I'm unavailable until June 17th, but afterwards I'd like to take a look at my schedule and meet you guys. Saturday is fine by me. (I'm from Ghent btw - just to let you know to set a central meeting point if we get a team together).
Cheers, Sander.
