Re: [HELP] Can you please update information about your dataset?

Hi Hugh,

Thanks for championing voiD here:)

I would love to avoid the manual editing too. As Leigh said, editing esw 
wiki is not the best experience you could have.

Do you have a voiD description creator/editor you can share with the 
community?

Sure, this will be an interesting experiment.
