Sure, though I still think it is worth us reflecting on progress more frequently. I have no fear of the code (IP) cleanliness, procedures, or personalities involved in Pirk. I do worry a bit about whether Pirk will be self-sustaining in terms of diverse community involvement. It is still early days, and there has been good progress on developer and user documentation and guidance. Hopefully we can continue in that vein, and the project will continue to see the benefits.
