Re: Welcome me aboard Xiph; I just volunteered

Hi Ivo,

It's great to hear someone taking on this side of things. It's something 
we badly need.

I can maybe help out in some ways... but i don't have lots of free 
time... so i'm not actually sure if i'll be any good to you. But welcome 
aboard, i look forward to seeing what you have planned.

Zen.
