[Cz-engineering] An introduction and some initial questions.

[mbeychok]

Landon, I have answered you on your user discussion page.  It is much 
easier to correspond there than it is through this email system. So this 
conversation should now be moved over to your user discussion page (also 
called Talk page). I hope that Howard will also respond there from now 
on. Your user Talk page is at 
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/User_talk:Landon_Blake .  It is also 
reached by clicking on the "my talk"  tab at the top of any CZ pages if 
you are correctly logged in.
