In follow-up, I've been told that this same email was sent to all wikibooks bureaucrats, because it was assumed that small group of people would be a good way to contact the community at large. In the future, I'll go though and remove any contact information from forwarded emails.

of Foundation staff. It looks like Barbara Brown and/or Sandra Ordonez
are
the ones you want to forward this to, although since their names aren't linked to their accounts I'm not sure how you could get in contact with them.
Anyway, it's a start. Garrett
Good thing Wikipedia staff is on the list. :)
Also, I wanted to note that that in general, Guillaume is correct about forwarding personal emails to public lists--it should not be done...but in looking at this email I can see that Andrew used his judgment; this email was intended for the Wikibooks Community and/or the Foundation.
Good job, everyone.
