[volunteergrid2-l] New Members

[Jody Harris]

I have created wiki accounts for:
 - Eugen Leitl
 - Aaron Drew
 - Eric Anapolsky

Benjamin, the system requires a First and Last name. If you will email me
with a last name, or a selected pseudo[post]nym, I will create an account
for you.

Temporary passwords have been assigned to all new accounts -- which should
be changed, and all new accounts have been grafted into the VG2Group list.

What am I missing?
