I assume everyone is fine with Ruben?  Please yell soon if you feel 
otherwise.

Ruben, the next step is to get you an account on the Wiki so you can 
access the restricted section.  One of the members needs to do that.  I 
can take care of it this evening (MDT -- GMT-6) if no one has 
objections.  Sorry, this is the slow part of the process.

Regards,

Brad
