Just to update everyone on where we are: Our primary focus has been
this:

1. Getting organized - which we have pretty much done
2. Mission statement - finished
3. Getting registration and the list moved to the Maccaws site - in
progress and getting close. This has been the big hurdle to date.

Those things have all taken precedence over us beginning any real
research. However, our research team has done some bit of work. Plus,
we have the information in our list that needs to be sweeped and so
on. Once the site is up and the new registration is running - which
should be very soon now - I'll be leaning on the Research team to
really put this thing in gear. That probably means there will be more
discussion on the list, and maybe some more calls for help. Stay
tuned.

That's a good start. Tony, I consider this part of the web project
anyway - so if you could take ownership of this! Thanks!
