Greetings all, We are getting ready for a big transition here - tomorrow (Fri Nov 11) will be Bridget's last day working on this project - she is moving on to new position outside the Univ of Minnesota thereafter, and we certainly wish her the very best with that!
As you might have known or realized, Bridget has been the main developer and support provider for UMLS::Similarity and UMLS::Interface over the last several years (at least three years, even longer than that I think!) so this is clearly a very big change for us. We will do our best to continue without her, and would ask that if you have any questions about these packages that you go ahead and post them to this list (or send them to me if you'd rather not have them on the list). We will continue to develop and support these packages, and it would be a big help if you could direct your questions to us just to make sure nothing falls between the cracks and that we continue to get your valuable feedback. I am sure it might take us a bit longer to get answers and fix things, but we will do our very best to continue the good work that Bridget has started here. We are of course happy for Bridget and her new opportunities, and while we might feel a bit sorry for ourselves at times without her, we'll do our best to carry on and keep things under control and improving over the longer term. So, please do keep us posted on how things are going, and let us know if any questions arise. BTW, Bridget's new employer isn't secret, but if you haven't heard I'd prefer you heard it directly from her (don't want to steal her good news), so drop her a note to get filled in on what her future plans include. Cordially, Ted -- Ted Pedersen http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse
