Willing to help out. My strengths lie in backend work though, not front end interfaces. I'm a full-time Linux user and have been since '96.

Languages: C, C++, Java, Perl, Python, Lua, Tcl (though it's been a few years since I did any Tcl). Probably just about any scripting language given the APIs and a description of the language syntax, usually easily available. Looking at 12 years experience all up, 7 of which are professional employment, the other 5 working on projects (MUDs, Papaya mud client, TkTurf mud client) outside of university study.

Specialist areas: SS7 and IP network programming, SLEE.

Professionally I'm a Java and C++ software engineer working mostly with SLEE and SS7 (providing the interface that allows a SLEE programmer to send and receive SS7 messages).

In terms of time, over the long term no more than a couple of hours per week. Obviously with any software effort there are busy and quiet times.
