Thanks for introducing yourself and for willing to participate! As you can imagine, there's a lot that (always) needs to be done…. both in promoting the application and in getting users to be contributors (like you). Over the next few days, Peter and I will be posting to this list some ideas to get things focused. We are a very large community—or rather, collection of communities—with members all over the world doing any number of rather interesting things. Many want to contribute but do not know how; many others—the vast majority—do not even know they *can* contribute. (Modern commodity culture makes it hard to do that.) Best, Louis PS, I mentioned this already but this is a very public list and it's not a good idea to append seemingly private information, like phone numbers, to your signature. The Web has no actual memory—just an infinitely extensive archive, esp. of those things you'd rather not linger in the public eye. > > Thanks, > Anthony > > - -- > Anthony Papillion > Advanced Data Concepts > Remote Technical Support and Software Development > > Office: (918) 919-4624 > Mobile: (918) 320-9968 > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) > > iQIVAwUBTMJfVoeUq9QAeLbkAQKbxg//ZgJEedN48l3mzfwET/+UtjiLgK4zz5OW > lLPu6++qS9sWCFMDs30KlaslL9EMoqqXeDsrxwQflF1fInShMWA69Ezb6qLxuKSE > o7ux1qtatDMUx4A1DE46C9AEyrJqL24IFCvFXSqPiKc/azwNOgfgnN94AIHZvS1M > OGG4oLTuAUmWNS77BILCIwWsX7wt8uWkt141GOUSK1faaqX1l7UWjWBOOjwivReD > TG4/KfpaIY+ibwVY9eaXB+DUr3QXUsp+AqnJJDTC5SUyXB9BkMRc/z2xyQcqMrbR > siY3gnmEUHzvzz1H+hKP1KPnLwbi4EmjHX8jpT/QQfFJ3iE85d/aY+oKi5Jq4e2W > QEoMpVVb+ntdyRpVwtWROVGgL6Sq3a4HroCxg5EcCJzHFntx74Z0pUFUabkOzG+4 > 0oXIkXLJ54UbgPkxhaVBtg73JphgA2yleD2fnv/rYAmhvBLFsMDPC3q/6Cl71Swc > yHSbKs43y/yllQT/7ugzyS/alhj6zhiahUMJSTb5f7+MSaWxeMaDBeVNQYLqH4BX > OTWU6emELTw89oFvapkvnhpnpcTWlzufidZwckaDRDHPoM7RPO8NgpwuCFHFidau > M+6MaBSz3zBgHYDhAHLmmEuLRwx2YZ/2eCHqzTNAoqKEUURO4IjZSuR6+fEGmzpx > Voiigp17Kbo= > =Zq3Y > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
