I meant to also say that we have a good, almost interview-style,  
article from Lizardtech in the Journal.  I think it would be good for  
a spotlight and it is pretty much ready to go.

The local chapter updates may also be interesting, as a sort of  
community communication:

The raw text is available in our SVN file tree, e.g.:

Hope that helps.
