Thanks for pointing this out. I have a cron job to sync to the latest

I tried Gnopernicus on a dapper chroot only two-three days ago, and had

Wednesday/Thursday is fine for me, just mention a time. I won't be able 
to attend the meeting any earlier than 13:00 UTC.

Please keep us posted re the wik page on accessibility implementation.
