You're not tempted to take this one on if he doesn't return?
I must admit, when I first saw this thread, I thought it was going to be yours in the first place!
I'm not going to step on anyone's toes and it wouldn't be at the top of my priority list (I already have at least three WIPs on the go), but if he doesn't come back then I'd definitely consider it - but if he does come back, hooray! Less work for me!
