[Webcom] Motion: Ian Edwards joins WebCom

[Ian Edwards]

Jeff - I agree and we share your frustration.

Unfortunately from my perspective, my offer of contributing time over the
next eight days is only for this specific point-fix. I hope that we can get
this solved and then move on to important issues.

My reasoning is:
1. It's an easy introductory task for me to get used to working with the
group
2. I'm on holiday with family and my computer contact time is limited
3. I'm not up to speed with the group's backlog and the specifics of the
other issues.

I'm happy to dig into #1105 late next week and see if there's anything I
can do to help.  I hope that I can, but this week I'm still finding my feet.
