Err, I was about to go make the changes myself, but I noticed

I might say 'attempt to make it easy' -- i've actually tried to use

Other than those small notes, it looks good. Where (how broadly) do you 
intend to announce it?

I'm curious how you intend to set up leadership/management for the

Neither has been widely publicized, for we lost the time to work on
them before we got to that point. One day I hope to resume at least
