Iain,

Great news! I suggest folks may need some guidance on submitting desired and
appropriate material. I have some thoughts on this subject I am willing to
share and will create a wiki page as soon as time permits for discussion.

IMO, once this is document is agreed ( no later than 7/11 ) we should be
ready.

Kind regards,

John
