Re: [Adonthell-devel] Re: Artwork into Wiki?

Sounds good.

Perhaps we can do it on a week-night. Depending on the time-zones it  
may be possible to find something that's not too late/early for  
everyone involved.

I'm often out and about on Friday and Saturday nights (and I suspect  
many others may be too).

I guess the first step is for everyone to say what timezone they're  
in (perhaps in GMT +/- X hours) so we can try to find a good time.


I'm live in London, so it's GMT for me :D

So what's yours?
