O.k. maybe the other people haven't written it loud enough :). That is
the whole point of a WIKI. :)

Bruce you have at least a dozen people right now that are willing to
help. :) . I know for a fact that Andrew, Myself, Devrim and Darcy would
all be willing to help. I would throw Alvaro in there too but he is
probably the busiest of us all and would likely kill me ;)

I bet Jim would also be willing to help. Between you, and Tom and Peter
and Neil, and Alvaro we have all the engineer brains to help back us up.

Sincerely,
