Hi Roger,

I see the people responding to your ideas and think this could be a very
good opportunity. I'm very happy to contribute what skills I have. I am sure
for anyone involved that the rewards will be many, in terms of sharing
skills, knowledge and the intangibles, like that of being part of a
professional community.

I am new to being a consultant (though I have been one for a few years now)
and do feel that my role is probably in the backend. I do enjoy programming,
and sharing this project with others who may be more talented or differently
skilled will benefit me regardless.

Looking forward to what may be coming,

Paul Sanderson
