Maybe it would be a good opportunity to work together and come up with something that would represent how we run our evaluations. I'm pretty sure it would be very similar. Léonie and I have been talking about this for a while, maybe this is a good opportunity to do so. Others could want to jump in as well... /Denis On 2011-10-21, at 3:44 AM, Léonie Watson wrote: > No, it isn't documented publicly.
