Hi Dario & all,

Thanks for that!

RCom review is still confusing to me (and I assume to many). I'm not sure
how new researchers find out about the need for it (or even about the meta
documentation procedures). I think more information/publicity about this
could help. One possible and partial approach would be to have a regular
(monthly?) summary of and reminder about RCom review sent to this email
list.
