Hi Jody,

Thanks for the welcome :-)

I can already access the wiki, and have added my name to the list, and 
added a note about abstaining / not wishing to vote on a topic.

I have a website login, but am not sure what category I am. Please do 
add me as "project editor" (I am nickbearman).

Depending how time goes tomorrow, I will have a go at the step-by-step 
page for new projects :-)

Best wishes,
Nick.

Please let me know if I can make any adjustments related to disability or neurodivergence to improve how we interact.

Due to my own life/work balance, you may get emails from me outside of normal working hours. Please do not feel any pressure to respond outside of your own working pattern.
