Hi Tim,

Thanks for replying. I appreciate.

OK, if no one steps up meanwhile, let's see how we can collaborate with 
the new recruit. But I feel that, at the beginning, he will be more 
skilled for general coding matters ("Code/Setup" section) than QGIS 
specific issues as reported in sections "Writing" and "Triage". No?

Kind regards,

Harrissou
