Congratulations to the Fluid project on another milestone

I wish to convey my quick congratulations to the Fluid Project on their achievement of visibility on the mailing list of the jQuery project.

As Eli Cochran posted on the fluid-talk list (slightly edited for re-post here):

Even before Colin had a chance to announce our work with jQuery to the greater jQuery community, we had our first mention on the jQuery Google group. Someone on the list asked the community for help using the Fluid tabindex jQuery plugin.

I would say that this is an important milestone. The first time that we've seen Fluid work jump out of the Fluid community and into another community. We are having an impact!
