Hi Chris and all


1. I think there is a small typo. I found it great at
www.raisingthefloor.net

2. The initiative looks very exciting and of course reading more about it is
high on my agenda.

3. The buzzword   digital inclusion   is bandied about in some circles
working on related topics. I LOVE the RtF site and I would suggest you make
sure digital inclusion  shows up somewhere in keywords because I think that
will facilitate connections with like-minded folks.

4. I am not going to CSUN but I hope everyone there has a great time.

Thanks for your work!
