Hi Natacha

I'd like to say that I'm sorry that I haven't been able to react to your
work, I've been really busy here in Denmark with various things that
have demanded and still demand all my  attention.

I think getting funding for the continued work with Baobáxia would be
really important, what exists now is a working system in dire need of
being upgraded, and it needs professional care on a scale that is
difficult to achieve without funding - at least for a sprint or so.  So
my own silence should definitely not be interpreted as unwelcoming, I've
just been having to focus on some other things, unfortunately.

I'm afraid this is true of many of us, Vince included.

Best
Carsten
