That would be awesome Richard! I felt I was being a little too specific and cautious about making sure it was known I am not a player in that competition but am really glad I did so now! I can not wait to see the math text (one of my true loves) and would be elated to have you join us! (now a party of 2 as I did manage to convince someone from xAPI to join us to help as well). This is so great!
