Here are the latest update from the Mango grant. As a side note, we're working on a new process for getting grant information out even faster than we currently do If everyone signs off, this information should be much more timely.

First off, let's get the bad news out of the way. Here's Adam's final report on the PPI refactoring editor: It is with some sadness I think I will have to finally draw a line under this effort and consider it over.

Sorry this hasn't been updated lately. Our company is shutting down their offices and I have to move to London. Needless to say, my life has been in a bit of a turmoil as I try to get things sorted out Now, on with the grant update: Christopher Laco's Mango grant is being postponed until January.
