[Gmod-help] Re: GBrowse Tutorial Release Date?

[Dave Clements]

Hi Mary,

I'm on leave until next week and probably won't get to review this (in any
thorough way) before release. I'm sending this on to the folks who reviewed
it the first time around.

Everyone: if you have any feedback, please send it to Mary.

Mary, when it's ready you/we should announce this to the GBrowse mailing
list (https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gmod-gbrowse) and on the
GMOD News page / RSS feed (http://gmod.org/wiki/GMOD_News).  I can do either
of these for you if you want.

Good to hear it is very close,

Dave C.
