Ken - Thanks for the follow up. I am in the process of going through the
archives and will get back to you with questions, if any.

I am waiting for others to send in their updates as well.

Appreciate your quick response.

Thanks

I have the introductory sections, through getting started, I have been 
watching with interest the changes to project leadership and I'm happy 
so far. I have been the only contributor to the project who has updated 
anything since May. Any progress is definitely welcome.
