First I'd like to say that this is an excellent time to get this going. Winter break is coming up and I believe Chris will be out of school very soon.
I would like to help with maintaining web content since that is something I'm good at. Also, we don't need a group C. I can generate faster than anyone here probably, since I work in a computer lab (and have two 3Ghz computers in front of me). Just give me a txt with all the input sequences and I bet I can get like 300 done a day. (Remember to use the ~U and the mask code for say RULM.) This should be done by group A. We need much more group D people, heck everyone should be a group D person. -Doug --- In zbmethod@yahoogroups.com, "cmhardw" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey everyone, > > Richard Patterson and I have been talking, and here is a proposed > delgation of responsibility.
