Getting the science overlay into a much better and almost usable |
46 |
state. There are now enthusiastic people who are starting |
47 |
to contribute to the overlay and adding a lot of fixes. |
48 |
So I'd say, getting a new life for the science project is also |
49 |
something nice that has happened :D |

Special thanks to chymera and andrew for being super enthusiastic |
52 |
in fixing the overlay :D |
