Hi,

I think Guy got some good replies on the forwarded message from
Jean-Baptiste.

It seems (at least) one point mentioned in my earlier messages was not
clear enough.

An earlier "contest/concourse" is described in our Wiki.

It would be great if the marketing project could pick this up, drive the
effort and come to a result even appreciable for our users and
contributors.

Greetings
Stefan
