Thanks, Hen. Is this "news"? I.e., I'm seeing that this isn't the first project we've retired (it's our 3rd thus far, right?) if so, what does this mean?
And when are you planning to announce this? I suspect it may be of interest to possible journos and newsfolk: who is the contact person for this (you?) and will you be posting this announcement with your coordinates? Just trying to figure out how to best connect y'all ...
