[Vikram Dhillon]

Thanks a lot for getting back to me. I am a solid web-programmer so
over time I have learned: PHP, mySQL, html, css, django, couch-db (in
the process of learning) and javascript. I will definitely look again
at the link you provided to pick something up and work on it and also
try my best to attend the next meeting (I am a student, so I might be
at school at that time).

Regards,
Vikram Dhillon
