No biggie - I'm hoping to have the white paper content digested and regurgitated in an updated format.
Ok - that doesn't read well, but... ;-) A bunch of folks have already contributed a bunch of cool ideas, so I'm still having some fun learning all this stuff. I'm sure it will look amateurish for a while, and then full of good content and amateurish. ;-) Maybe eventually I can find a web designer to take the good content and make the site look more professional. For now, expect the site will change everyday and keep the comments coming. Thanks ! Bill On Feb 23, 2009, at 12:55 PM, William F.
