James Perret, Watershed Studios

he said he'd be away from his e-mail for a while, and that was ages ago.
I haven't heard from him since, either via the list or personal e-mail.
Gordon mentioned he had the same problem. I think James has missed this
entire discussion and is probably going to be a little surprised when he
gets back.

I think Ben and James are putting most of this together pro bono, and
we may be paying an extra-high price (for Americans, anyway) in order to
cover their expenses.

also, I disagree with the idea that James should choose the name. I think
this democratic decision-making is messy, ungainly, and more than a little
annoying, but it's also sadly the way we should do this. it's the list's
representation, after all.

no ingratitude, tho. I think he gets first space in the list of thanks.
