[wplug-board] New bylaws proposed to the board 6/31/2005 6:30PM

[Evan DiBiase]

Hi! I am actually in Pittsburgh for a while, now, and I seem to be  
able to receive mail sent to wplug-board.

Unfortunately, it'll be tough to make it to CMU by 5:15 on Thursday  
(we tend to work late). I'll be meeting up with Mark at Cocoaheads at  
7, though, so perhaps he could give me a rundown of the situation and  
I could vote based on that.
