Skipjack proposed Thursday?

[Warren Keith Russell]

I apologize for the ignorance, but I'm new here!  I keep reading about
Skipjack; can someone tell me what it is?  Is there a question-and-answer
file or something of that sort for the list that can educate me and bring
me up to speed on what everyone is talking about?
