Hello all,

Well, the results are unanimous: Keep it; it's worth the time invested

Where to put it was far from unanimous, so we'll experiment with putting it in both the monthly newsletter and dev news briefs.

Thanks all,

Dave C.

Hi Peter, all,

I've added post in both places as an option.

So far we only have two responses ...

Thanks,

Dave C

I find it moderately useful, so if most Galaxy Admins think the same, it
probably is overall a good time investment.

I would suggest both (easy if it is just a link, a tiny bit of copy and paste
if not), but that wasn't an option on the Google form.
