Hi :) I think i heard a rumour that it costs £300 (or something) so it's more likely to be useful for individuals rather than the team. If anyone here has any clout with the BoD then it might be good to think about getting them to purchase a copy for Jean as a "thank you".
I often feel weird about proprietary stuff because so many people here put in so much good quality work as volunteers. Still, hopefully some people have external projects that might be more profitable with something like this. Definitely don't just buy into stuff like this without looking into it more. I was hoping a few people might wangle a free (or very reduced) copy for testing purposes (for their own projects) but i don't know if Brian would go for that.

I won't be available to follow up until late February, but I'll contact Brian, the developer, to indicate my interest.
