I would say a big thankYou and emphasise that we have really appreciated
what you have contributed. Apart from the entries themselves it has also:
- kept the momentum of the process very active.
- justified our idea that a virtual community can share out
projects and that it works.
Be assured that we shall make sure that what you have done will be
valued.
