Pardon me -- I fell ill on Friday, so I couldn't get to this. I'm 
running a draft by Kevin now, and once he and I are sure what it should 
say, I'll post here, get y'all's review, and post it!

I think I'll use this photo 
https://secure.flickr.com/photos/51691575@N00/2541313664/ at the top of 
the post, since "grafting" is kind of like what it means to bring new 
contributors totally into the fold of an open source project.
