Still a bit drafty, so please let me know when you begin to review it, I may want to tweak some more.

Are there any updates on this, or ETA?

@pdebuyl @NelleV ?

Hi Valentin, your paper seems ready but before moving on we are waiting for reviews for the other submissions.

Dear *,

At this stage I am already considering retracting my paper, because the presented material is pretty much out of date now. Software has moved on, and right now the presented benchmarks aren't really of interest anymore. I would still be interested to see my paper in the proceedings, kind of as a historical reference, perhaps something you would want to cite.

Anyway, what I guess I should be asking is, do you have any ETA on when this will be released?

Hi Valentin,

First, (and this applies to other submitters as well), sorry for the silence for about two months now. Applications for funding (mostly) and $current_research_project have prevented me from managing this proceedings issue. Two important applications were submitted last week and I will get back to the proceedings. While I hope that a few weeks will do (for the proceedings), the actual time of arrival depends on the responsiveness of the referees now. I will start a new campaign to replace absent referees.

Best,

Pierre

Thanks for merge. I was thinking about fixing up some links and minor things to make the article a little more up-to-date. Would that be OK? I can get it done until next Monday.

No problem, let us know when we can merge the update.
