Let me add my voice to the rising chorus - mazel tov, Jim. BTW: there have been many times when Jim has lent a helping hand to myself and others via Skype, Email, IRC and the odd voice chat.... just having his peppy little icon in my screen, makes me feel like WikiEducator's future is assured. Way to go!
