If anyone has problems joining, please let me know offline. I'm happy to help.

I am interested in SVG, but I have not yet done much experimentation with it. I might look into the IG, but I probably have too little experience to join. Congratsulations on your position.

Talk about being discouraging. No wonder SVG isn't taking off. In addition the W3C’s crappy web system won’t let me login, and I’m not sure I’m up for the whole invited expert thing.

You know of the two whole reviews I've had of Painting the Web, both were negative of my coverage of SVG. That's a shame, too, because support for SVG is broader than just a stupid Adobe plug-in. (Did you also know that if you access the Adobe plug-in page with IE8, set to IE8, you can't access the plug-in link? Half the page is blocked off.)
