All sounds very good to me.

I'm away (in Cheshire) in August and somewhat off the grid -- I'm doing
a course in a place with woeful internet connectivity :) But I'd like to
stay involved. If it turns out I can collaborate remotely, I'd be happy
to try. (It may be possible for me to go into Manchester or somewhere
and work from there for a day).
