ok, ok, I'll try luaTeX. But not just now.

Yes, seems to work. (see other thread)
I guess I'll re-publish my typescripts as soon as I'm actively using  
luaTeX - and as soon as I relaunch my website on Django (planning  
that for some months now...)

Unfortunately I can't do it on my own, need help from two colleagues  
to do it in time. Besides working full-time on that myself. And  
sending tons of images back and forth through any internet connection  
is no fun.

Of course. And PostNuke meeting, Django sprint, PyCon, DANTE, EUU  
Retreats, some courses & festivals and a lot more that I can't join  
this year... Only visiting DRUPA (printing fair).
