I Debby.
Yes, I realized that last night.  Duh.  I'm pasting in my revision.
If people from other schools could put together something similar, I could
put up more.  Although I think adding info to Wikkipedia articles is
supposed to be easy.

Hey Tracy! Awesome! The only thing you didn't address though was the
ownership policy and the nominal charge.  People might want 
that info.  Very cool!    Debby with Neena
