 I'm not sure _CTAN_ will be able to make it.
 I hope we won't get _completely_ drowned, after this call.

 Three quarters of the CTAN upload team are at present at a
 DANTE meeting in Passau;  the third quarter is on holiday.
 I'll be on my way back home (and completely offline!) until
 tomorrow around midday and then very busy catching up with
 everyday life.

 So I _do_ hope uploaders will be merciful ...

   Best,
