Hello

[Björn Balazs]

Moin Gijs, 

you are raising the right questions - and I am interested in the answers too 
:)

As Johannes too mentioned an interest in a postmortem of polypoly - may I ask 
you two to take over the responsibility for this task? The result will for 
sure be of great interest!


Welcome!
Björn
