As I’m sure you can understand that, with 50 participants in our OpenLab group, it is not possible for me to respond individually to every single post. However, I assure you that I do read every post. I will, of course, be jumping into the forum from time to time, usually in the first few days (Monday- Wednesday) of the week. This discussion board really belongs to you.
