[Historic] introduction & questions

[Jeff Meyer]

Hi Richard -

Welcome aboard!

Animations are where we want to get, for sure!

As for tagging, any leadership or suggestions you can provide would be most
helpful. I think much of this is still quite up in the air.

Looking forward to getting some good civil war examples set up in hosm!

Regards,
Jeff
