You can have a geonotice on selected projects if you so wish. This has been the standard way to publicize an event in the past 2 years or so. On Aug 26, 2011 3:09 PM, Lewis Cawte lewisca...@googlemail.com wrote: On 26/08/11 02:12, Thomas Morton wrote: Lewis, I am still definitely interested.

Hi Tom, I'm already in talks with some people at the Skiff discussing us using it :) Glad you know about it as well! Designer wise, I don't see why not? I'm sure there are plenty of design related bugs out there and other things they can do... -- Lewis Cawte On 26 August 2011 17:19, Tom Morris
