Introducing the InternKats

The IPKat is delighted to announce the arrival of a brand new, freshly minted species of team member - the InternKats.  Following the KatKall earlier in the year, we were thrilled to receive a large number of applications from highly qualified and motivated applicants.  The IPKat is now able to announce the first two InternKats, who will serve for the next six months, mainly producing various flavours of blogposts and maintaining the blog pages.
