[game_preservation] Welcome to new members

[Andrew Armstrong]

If you ever feel like reporting on what is going on locally (events, and 
so on), feel free to email me. The SIG really needs some more 
"reporters", at the moment I only report on what I do, and 2nd party 
news from various history blogs/sites. :)

Nice to see you sign up too! :)

To everyone else who's new (and those who are not ;) ), I will bump the 
older project discussions which have had no input, since these are 
something that might be worth working on or putting forward thoughts on, 
sometime next week.
