[Ecls-list] new ECL list member/ ECL project

[Dustin Long]

Thanks for the input, everyone. After reading the initial replies about 
the site I realized that I forgot to test on anything but my own browser 
and monitor resolution. Shame on me! I'll try to fix it later tonight.
The info about streams sounds very interesting, I'll be incorporating 
that at some point. Thanks again!
