Hi Christy!

Well, the ARGs and education area sounds right up my alley!  Also, I've
known Bryan for a while and it will be great to work with him.  I find it
interesting that nobody has filled the "Definitions" role yet.  Defining
ARGs is something I've been struggling with for a long time, so I'd be
interested in helping out in that area also.

Cheers,

Jamie
