<font face="Verdana">Great resource, thanks Jeremy. I used to use
IRC, but not lately. I will give it another try.<br>
<br>
Shiva, perhaps you would like to take charge of this, as it is a
large, separate project.<br>
<br>
For the moment, if anyone wants to join the Skype remote
moderators' conversation that we already have implemented, please
send me your Skype ID by private email, and I will add you.<br>
<br>
Shiva, we will watch for your suggestions. Thanks so much!!!<br>
<br>
Best, Ginger<br>
