[Ben Crisford <bcrisford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again,

I would be interested in helping out with this project.  I believe I could
contribute using my skills running my CoD4 clan, and my experience as admin
on CoD4 servers.

Because it is awkward for me to boot CoD4 nowadays I would be equally happy
to participate in a more administritive role.

Also, so windows users can join us more easily for chat, we could have a
ventrilo server using spux?  It is still in development, but by the time
we're done sorting this it will probably be released (see
www.spuxproject.net).

Regards,
Ben
