Hi A few questions, just for my understanding (and before I commit to anything): - Are you a group of people developing this system, preferable also someone from outside Oxford ? - Is the system in use in other places? - Which programming languages do you use ?
In any case I will be happy to take a look at the proposal and give my comments. Maybe more if I can see I can benefit the project. rgds jan i.
