  Anybody vouched for by another member?  In my mind this is the group
of people who we've met at meetings, plus people they vouch for.
Essentially, people that we know to be real people and not just
scripts.

  I'm not sure that the promotion system is set up, so folks may have
to poke me to "member" them for now.  Admins can do the promotion too.
 We have about a dozen of those for this site.  (edit user, check the
"member" box, save.)

  I've "member"d the usernames that I can out faces to.  If I've
missed you, I'm sorry.  Again, poking me with an email should take
care of it.  I presume that the ones I've missed were buried in a pile
of spam suspects, or were pseudonyms that didin't click with an email
address in my mind.

Sorry dude.  Could you convert the FLOSS Fund page please.  The
Markdown stuff looks pretty icky.  There are some others that are
suffering from the same level of oogey.  They'll wait until somebody
adopts them for cleanup.

Super idea.  I'm on it.  Look for new floss fund content types.  Shortly
