Great! And also great, Godefroid! You're now both official volunteers,
so I will assume you'll work it all out. :)

Now on to Gregoire's comments and questions:

I don't think we'll be dealing with paid coaches this sprint; Jim
indicated to me he wasn't going to attend EuroPython unfortunately.
I don't know yet about Guido's status, but the PyPy people have a previous
claim on him, and still he'd need to be paid if he's going to participate
in our sprint.

This is not a big problem; I'll be there and I can fake being a Zope 3 coach
well enough to at least get started. I hope some others will be able to make 
it to the sprint too -- if Steve Alexander for instance could make it, or some
of the Lithuanians, they could do a far better job coaching than I could. We'll 
figure it out.

See previous question. Of course if Jim could pull a miracle out of his
hat then that's wonderful, but let's go on the assumption Zope corporation
is not directly involved in this one.

Right. We need more people stepping in volunteering for coaching. We'll
just hope nobody replied yet as they were worried I'd volunteer them
for the full organization if they did. Now that we have volunteers,
don't worry, and step forward! :)

I mailed you and Godefroid privately and also informed Laura that things
are in progress here.

Of course my evil twin Martjin will take care of any questiosn you may
have. :)

Seriously, of course I'll be helping to answer questions.

A wonderful deadline to get the first bits going! And nobody can blame
you for being a cruel taskmaster Gregoire, as it'll be the Swiss
military that did it! :)
