Arch O. La^TalkTCF 07:01, 15 March 2006 (UTC). If CTS can join, then so can I. Check my user page: I have made it my mission. My outline of articles should often help. For some reason, I don't see most of the older members around anymore.
Steve Caruso 03:23, 30 March 2006 (UTC) - I'll give it a whirl and see how I can help. My focus is on dialects of Aramaic contemporary and older than Jesus, as well as 1st Century Judaism.
Clinkophonist My interest is more focused on the secrets of the New Testament. I'm also part of the Bible WikiProject, which aims to better organise Bible-related articles, because I'm a bit of a "tidy freak". Clinkophonist 19:02, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
