[elephant-devel] How to get involved?

[Glenn Tarcea]

Thanks Ian. I'll take a look at the tests and start there. I expect  
to devote a good part of Sunday on this (my wife is out of town, so  
now is a good time for me to start getting involved). I'll send out  
an update and questions. Thanks for the opportunity, I'm looking  
forward to getting to know and contribute to Elephant.

Thanks,

Glenn
