[pd-discuss] Durationator collab?

Wed Apr 3 07:02:11 UTC 2013

Hi Elizabeth,
I'm so happy to hear that you are moving along with the calculators.
So are we, in fact,  things are moving along pretty well !
It would be really great to see how we can work together, especially since
we are mainly focused on European flowcharts, and you are mainly focused on
the U.S., maybe we can see how we can help each others out to get a better
overall result ?
As I said, I'm available for a skype talk next week, monday or friday -
if anyone else is interested, please feel free to join us !
:)
