Hi, Jörg ... sure there are many things that we can improve
on. My 
goodness, we all have long lists. And that's cool. But I
don't view 
these things as problems (in the negative sense, anyway) and
I can't 
think of anything on the project that is a crisis. That's
all I'm 
objecting to is that one word. I'm not trying to diminish
any of the 
challenges people are having, but characterizing things as a
crisis just 
goes too far. Just a difference of opinion. I'm happy to
help facilitate 
on PPC, too. Let me know.
