Fellowship Shell Server

[Michael Clemens]

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for your interest!

I think most of the time all three of us need to spend would be 
coordinating
by mail or chat. This would include discussing how things should be 
done
or what the goals are or who is doing it.

I also don't care doing most of the work - including the documentation.
The most important thing is, that there are two other fellows who are 
able
to take care of the system when I am not able to (holidays, sickness or 
joining
the dark side).

Regards,
Michael
