Hi all,
Thank you for the update Karin. If I remember correctly we did talk
about something like this last year and it is great to hear that you're
working on it. It is a very important notice as we can avoid doing
duplication of work and instead collaborating on it if you're willing to
(and the material is open). I believe Miska also sent me information
about a Finnish project doing something similar. For an application at
IIS we are required to have a teacher on board working, more about one
of the links I sent in the previous e-mail.
Best,
Mattias
