[Project-ideas] Follow up discussions and timings of IRC - OCR project

[Debajyoti Nag]

Hi,
I have been trying to get a hang of using github and working of OCR
(related to my project interest), and would like to continue the discussion
with someone from the organisation now.
The main problem is I am based at GMT + 1:00, so I can hardly ever catch
someone at the IRC.
Also, my university wifi blocks the IRC ports, and I can access it only
through the irc webchat, so I have to logout when I am moving.

Please suggest some time when I should try to be present at the IRC.
Or some alternate method.
I intend to start working on first draft of my proposal sometime this
weekend, and would be nice to talk to a mentor before that.
