Good afternoon,

Which Wednesday in Sep?

Also, I tweeted for standards on inline edit.  The only response was from Steve 
Faulkner who refered me to the Fluid inline edit :) So, we might be leading the 
standardization of inline edit accessibility here.

Will this be over Connect?  Because it is a bit inconvenient to participate in 
a conversation where others can talk and I can only type in the IRC channel.

THanks,
