Sign me up!
It's nice to hear that I'm not the only one that was interested in what I'm
doing. I've discussed the project with a few of my friends, and they all looked
at me like I was crazy.
I'd love to help contribute to any projects that I can. Keep in mind im not an
expert programming, maybe novice, but I learn what I need to as I go (I learn
very quickly too). Please let me know what I can do to help.
