Yeah, I misunderstood. Richard pinged me in IRC and clarified last night.

Agreed, I think both Richard and Jimmy are hashing it out in IRC right
now. (And I will be joining them shortly to see if they need any
help.)

Well for the most part my draft was totally off base. But one thing I
did, that might make some sense to incorporate, is mentioning some of
the sights and sounds of NY in the summer. e.g. - "Home of the Mets
and Yankees baseball teams, Broadway Theater, baseball, Skyscrapers,
Fashion, Finance, and the heartbeat of the US" (Please don't use that
literally, it's jsut there to give you an idea.)

Sure! Do you have a list or IRC channel? (And an orientation guide for
new members?) :)
