"ALMA"

Abstract: I will discuss the Atacama Large Millimeter Array.
ALMA represents an order of magnitude, or more, improvement in
all areas of millimeter-wave observations, including sensitivity,
resolution, frequency coverage, and image quality.  I will summarize the
potential science enabled by ALMA. I will then present recent progress
in ALMA construction, and discuss the project schedule. I will close
with details on ALMA user support at the North American ALMA Science
Center.
