Stew,
I would appreciate the karma. I imagine there are a lot of things I
could improve. I'd like to know how communication on the project is
currently being done. I used php-webmasters as a starting point
because I knew it would get to where it needs to go. I already have
documentation karma, in case it matters to anyone.
