Oh it's my pleasure! Thank you for doing so much of the work here for me ;)
I'm glad you'll be 'checking out' the two initiatives too; I'm confident you will appreciate what they are doing. A third one that I forgot to mention is fairly new, called @greetersguild. They do a great job greeting and educating new users as well; and I'm involved with all three and am happy to say that we are all working together cooperatively, because it is such a nice fit.
You're welcome about the link to my post too. I will be happy to watch out for your continued series and give you my thoughts.
It really does take a village :)
