Re: [orca-list] Funding bug fixes

["John G. Heim" <jheim math wisc edu>]

Everybody who wants to be on the committee/team send me an email. My 
address is jheim math wisc edu. I'll set up a meeting. Can we all do 
skype? If we can't all do skype, we can just bounce emails back & forth. 
In the meeting, we can do things like select a committee chair, 
formulate a plan, etc.


IMO, the most important thing will be to keep orca users informed. We 
should make a commitment to posting updates on this list and to taking 
feedback from users.


PS: I love this plan, I am excited to be a part of it.
