Welcome to Hardhats.org... you have discovered the secret chamber...

The early volunteers that came together to create this site are experimenting with the idea of a virtual team. Each of us is in a different physical location and the Internet, in its various forms, is our only means of consistent communication. We have learned quite a bit about what works and what does not work in this group dynamic.

I personally am very grateful to each and every team member....

Greg Woodhouse for his incredible knowledge of the web and his dedication to get our site up and to keep it humming. Greg's efforts with CGI made the discussion forums and feedback forms happen. He also set up and administered the mailing list that kept us all in touch.

Pat Riggie has been tireless in her refinement of the graphics and in pushing through log jams. Her Kernel pages served as a model for the site and her Javascript-driven 'shops' are grand (thanks to Pat's daughter for the creative spark that said 'turn on a light').

Jule Meyn has provided valuable feedback and has been very willing to share his work on the SQL Interface for Fileman. Consistent SQL access holds tremendous promise for the future of Fileman.
