Yes, let's meet afterwards 2PM or soon after, for those serious about
driving forward partic projects.<br>
  <br>
I'm quite happy to improvise walking to a nearby park/cafe/oceanfront
etc at that time -- Soundview Park is just a few min to the South, or
we can follow others' suggestions...<br>

   Africa (Ghana, Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso, etc) on their progress.
