Hi Peter,
Let's get the people interested in creating the SMP together and discuss
how we can move forward. Could you ping the marcons and see who wants to
get started?
I underdstand that most of the people that were in Budapest might not
have enough time to collaborate here, but maybe there's also others that
would like to work on the SMP and weren't in Budapest.
So for anyone interested, just let us know and let's get together.
Regards,
Rosana
