[PyAR2] Where to start?

[W W]

Personally I think classes could be useful and certainly welcome... I would
also enjoy learning some more advanced skills.

As for location, I'm in Maumelle, so LR or Conway are both about the same
distance, +-5 miles.

For the logo, once we get a few more people on the list maybe we could have
a logo contest - people submit their logo proposal, I'd assume some type of
size/format restrictions.

I assume not all of us are artistically inclined (or interested, for that
matter), so I doubt everyone would actually enter a submission. Then perhaps
you could rig some type of voting system where all the logos would be
available for view.

Just my 2.5c

p.s. is there any way in the settings to adjust the "reply-to" address to
the pyar2 address? not a big deal but if some of us get in a hurry...

To be considered stupid and to be told so is more painful than being called
gluttonous, mendacious, violent, lascivious, lazy, cowardly: every weakness,
every vice, has found its defenders, its rhetoric, its ennoblement and
exaltation, but stupidity hasn't. - Primo Levi
