I'm up for a UK hacking day at some point, so that the rest of us can  
give a bit of extra manpower to help Steve with stuff like the Rails  
port, search API, integrating Potlatch, etc. etc. Anyone else?

(Can't make Essen, unfortunately. I know all of this could  
theoretically be done remotely but I'd rather do any serious hacking  
with others in the room... lest I break something.)
