[Listwork] [IMC-Tech] [Imc-communication] Resigning from tech work

[Ben Dean-Kawamura]

Thank you so much for compiling this Alster.  I've been lurking on these
lists for a while and would like to start stepping up to help out.  The
doc was really helpful to me.  I think there are a lot of big picture
things going on here, but for my part I think I'm going to just try to
find a bite-sized piece to attack and do my best at that.

Speaking of lurking.  I've been on the listwork email list for a while,
but haven't done any actual work yet.  How can I start?  Is there
anything that needs to be done right now?  Are there any lists needing
to be created?  Is there a way I can be ready to step up when the next
request is made?  Please advice.

Ben
