<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Another vote in favour and I'm supportive of what Russell has
suggested too in having a second grant ready to go should Fraser
think this appropriate.</p>
<p>Thanks all for their efforts - perhaps not the most glamorous
side of FOSS work, but necessary.</p>
<p>Happy hacking,<br>
Hugh</p>
