I think the general problem that has prompted us all to come together - and I want to take the opportunity to again thank everyone for their hard work so far - is getting more attention lately. I came across this today:

... and Robert Green, to whom I'd like to introduce all of you, sent me this earlier today:

Also, we'll be having a meeting tomorrow evening at our IRC channel at 7:00 EST for anyone who'd like to attend. I'm going to set aside the next few days to getting our software people what they need  to proceed on getting the website up and otherwise attending to tasks that have accumulated while I've been finishing up some other projects, so to the extent that I've missed something that needs to be completed in order for us to move forward, try to remind me ASAP or tomorrow evening at the meeting and I'll get it taken care of. 

I'd also like to introduce everyone to Emma Allen, whom a couple of you have met. She's going to be assisting me in keeping things better organized on my end - as several of you are aware, the extent to which I can juggle all of this has been the limiting factor in terms of timely progress - so please cc all e-mails to me regarding Project PM to her at emilieduchatelet8@gmail.com.

Thanks again.
