[Lloyd R. Prentice]

Thank you Fred.

I’ve much admired your work.

Perhaps working together we can make that happen. As you may have noticed, I don’t mind asking Mickey-The -Dunce questions. I’m pushing hard on several fronts to learn what I need to know to bring Writersglen to fruition. And I’ve learned that one of the best ways to learn is to teach.

In addition to work on erlpress_core, I’ve been trying to wrap my arms around secure Erlang web deployment. Bringing up a site to serve a “how to install 
Erlang on your system" tutorial would be a good learning exercise.

Point the way and I’ll do what I can to make this happen.
