My vote too.

I hope too be able too take a look at this, unless someone else has done it
by then. However, it'll be one or two weeks before I get the chance too look
into this. And then I won't be able to spend that much time on it, this out
might take a little while...

So it's quite likely that someone else will beat me to it.
