Teahouse and all that stuff
Hi! I have been meaning to chat again with you, I am just all over the place. I definitely did not intend to leave you hanging like I did since our earlier introduction. Everything just seems to be in the "this is not exactly it" mode for a long time. If that makes any sense. Something like, I can't explain what is going on because 5 different people are saying 5 different things and I would feel terrible wasting your time working on something that is likely temporary. (Discussions like, let's do the whole thing over in html! Wait, let's not.)
Anyway! I am so happy you want to do stuff at the Teahouse. I would also love to talk about doing things elsewhere if you are still interested, and if I can figure out how to talk about them (like making big or small adjustments to that temporary stuff to make it better and more permanent. Let me know! heather walls (talk) 04:02, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
