Good job !
Nice picture of the event, is there any picture on which you stand ?

Could you please mail me privately to give me more information ?

That's fine for me.

Mhhhh, yes, a "perfect world" ;-)
But perhaps it could make sense to prioritize the whish list, giving first
ideas to be implemented or researched first, then the nice-to-haves.

I suggest you copy/paste the part of your mail (which list) in a new
dedicated mail to launch the thread on the main list, what do you think
about it ?
I'll submiot my whiches to the new thread if it is ok for you ;-)
