Announcing Joar Wandborg joining the project as a Conservancy contractor.

[Marc Paré]

Hi Bradley,

Thanks for the update and a big welcome to Joar to the project.

I guess I represent the Canadian interests in this project for now and I 
will try to enrol more people. I will also try to help out when/where I can.

Cheers,

Marc
