Subject: RE: Micah´s Matrix in the wiki


Hi Lucía and Micah,

Lucía the wiki looks great! You've done a wonderful job on it. I very much like the idea of a static site and a dynamic site. This will be very useful.

Micah, thanks again for establishing this, and for donating it to the TC. And thanks for your prompt and valuable feedback on this thread.

- Bryan
