Asking other people to join is, precisely, a security in case of real-life
taking away precious time. I'm sure I can set something up alone in a few days,
but, if I go from 100% reliable to 80%, having 3 people able to offer 20%
reliability might fill the gap. Your formulation ("I'll be doing this..."),
though less formal, could do the trick, too.

Anyway, Edouard is taking a look at the existing stuff, so I won't interfere
right now with a "new site" hypothesis. I'll be doing it as some kind of
exercise, and will quietly tell about it once I've got something usable.

Fabien.
