Fluid Engage: Issue with static text accessibility

[E.J. Zufelt]

Good morning,

I would like to help out with this, but I don't think that e-mail will be the most effective medium.  Can we arrange a time to meet on IRC?  I have a pretty flexible schedule, so any time you pick should work for me.

Thanks,
