judging by the last few days, this sort of "technical support" through forum is a bit too slow..
it might be that a group chat in Skype would speed things up.
how many of us have Skype?

Re: how many of us have Skype?
This coin has two sides
On the good side - today we were totally using a forum as a chat while trying to figure out the TS via TTL thing, and I was actually tempted to say 'forum is not a chat'
On the other side - as soon as we get a chat, that would be a 3rd medium - there would be #1 forum #2 wiki #chat. Things would get lost. That's my concern.
What could be done as a compromise would be if more people publish their Skype IDs so that there are more private discussions. If a discussion is private it helps everyone to realize that it would be lost so the important stuff has to go somewhere else.
At some point I've tried adding 'Skype id' field into the profile, but unfortunately it did not go well. It was a plugin and it did not install correctly

Re: how many of us have Skype?
PS: what I was trying to say - whoever is comfortable with that should put his skype in his signature
