Notes:

Sorry for the static this week.  I am not 100% sure what caused it, but it could be as simple as the material in our costumes.  We'll keep an eye on it over the next couple weeks.

Sorry Ted; we were about to address your question and then the mic went wild.  We'll get back to you next week!!

I mentioned our Wiki as an open source item, but I should have mentioned as well, Joomla is open source.  Our entire web site is powered by Joomla.  I wanted to use the wiki example however, due to the vastness of Wikipedia.
