13 It's basically Davide (pesa) working on it now, but he doesn't have
14 enough time to do all the work needed. We have most of the basic parts

18 When we move it to the tree, we will follow your advice and have it
19 masked initially, so we can get a tinderbox run and some more people
20 testing it. Thanks for the offer!
