Bios

 * Bios should be done once Nelson sends his in (and once Gavin writes his), so hopefully they'll be done shortly.

Weekly e-mail updates

 * Every week each board member sends an e-mail to the board list about what they've done this week and what they're working on.
 * This may or may not include local news: Nelson and Fred seem to like local news, Gavin doesn't, it really doesn't matter
 * The first weekly e-mail update happens on Tuesday (tomorrow)
