Thanks Dave, we really appreciate it.  I will work with the UF
Beginner's Team to see what we can do to help get other parts of the
wiki up to speed with Hardy over the next few months.  I expect that
this summer people will have more time to dedicate to this task (since
many users are students as well).  I will stay subscribed to this
mailing list and do what I can to contribute.
Take care,
