Hello,
I would like to participate in this. It's kind of cool timing. I've been 
wanting a blog type of tool! =) I currently use blogger.com and it's OK. My 
only problem is having a server to host the blogs...It would be cool to have 
blogs for Squeakers using Squeak....=)

But, anyway, this sounds like a lot of fun. I'll be transitioning between 
jobs (got the week off actually), so I don't know exactly when I would be 
available.

I could work on any piece that needs help. I've been wanting to learn more 
HTML/CSS stuff and would like to join in on the front end design. But, I 
will not be able to do anything until Oct. 11 (which is when it starts).

This is exciting and is going to be a lot of fun. I take it that we are 
going to be using IRC to communicate correct?

Should I put my name on the challenge participants area swiki page?

Thanks
