Hi,

I'd like to announce some changes in the people who help me with the wiki. 
Jay Yourch is retiring as he is really busy at the moment. I'm really 
grateful for all the help he gave me for a number of years. Besides helping 
with technical issues including making us more secure and creating our 
first thumbnails, he also added many beautiful pictures and text for a lot 
of the wiki pages (especially Narcissus hybrids, Crinum and Crinum hybrids 
and Zephyranthes hybrids, but many others as well.) And he recruited some 
of his friends to add pictures too.

Linda Foulis is taking some time off, but hopes to be able to help again in 
the future.

David Pilling is now providing technical support. And my Lithuanian helper 
is still willing to answer questions and provide help as well. Nhu Nguyen 
continues to help me in multiple ways.

Although we continue to find things that need correcting on the wiki, I'm 
now ready to allow others to add to it again. We have decided to start over 
with the approved users. So if you wish to be able to add images and edit 
text and are willing to learn the new system, contact me privately. Next 
week I'll send out the new password and instructions. Most of the markup 
for the new wiki is different from the old wiki, but there are Gui Buttons 
to help you. Some things are easier (once you learn how to do them.) I will 
still be correcting things and will help people learn the new system, but 
please don't send me your pictures and ask me to add them to the wiki for 
you. I need to catch up on all the things I've neglected while I've worked 
on the conversion. There may be people who are willing to add pictures for 
others once they learn the new system.

Mary Sue
