Do you have a gmail email address?  We need a gmail email address to add
you to the project.

As for using codeplex, there are two problems with it.

1. We'd lose any Google link-fu in the domain change.  Currently if you
search for DbLinq the Google Code page is the 2nd hit and the Google
Group is the 3rd hit.  Under live.com, the first 9 hits are for us.
Dropping all this for codeplex would be a large hit.

2. More importantly, the only way to use codeplex (as far as I can
quickly see) is through a codeplex-specific source control program [0].
This is a non-starter for me, as I'm on Linux and do not want to
*require* Windows access to contribute to DbLinq.  Google's svn support
is nicely cross-platform.
