Hello!

My name is Brad Phillips. I wanted to follow suit & send out an introduction
:)

I'm a Developer working with Fabricatorz, and I share in my colleague's
excitement in beginning work with AcaWiki. Through my work with sites like
The Open Clip Art Library, I've become quite invested in Communities
surrounding sites and how to encourage participation. I also enjoy rolling
up my sleeves and digging into the code that makes a site tick. Everything
logical and creative involving digital art and design interests me, and I
hope to be a big help as the site progresses!

Cheers,

+Brad
