Biographies

[ianmilligan1]

I'd like to get folks from the University of Alberta and Compute Canada to provide bios for the new redesign of WebArchives.ca, now that we're going to use it as the WALK project home. Could each of you please provide a bio and a link, if appropriate, to a homepage or something along those lines? Thanks!
