Glad to see you both on this list!  For a long while we've been trying to 
build a closer relationship between the new-imc working group and people 
who are available to help with techincal issues.  Yes, there are some 
active imc-tech members on this list, and they have been very helpful, but 
there are still a lot of IMCs that find themselves without any techincal 
help, even after passing through the new-imc process.  It can be pretty 
demoralizing.

So, glad to hear you're both aboard.  Keep an eye to the list and you'll 
see how things work around here.  We try to be as supportive and 
encouraging as possible, while still making sure the aspiring IMCs do the 
basic organizing work necessary to develop into sustainable 
collectives.  Tech help at any point, even just a note from someone with 
tech experience to see if the new-imc has any questions, would be a great 
step in the right direction.

See you on the list,

Jay
