+<p>We need experienced review managers. Please take a look at
|
|
|
+the list of libraries in need of managers and check out their
|
|
|
+descriptions. If you can serve as review manager for any of
|
|
|
+them, email Ron Garcia or Tom Brinkman "garcia at cs dot indiana dot edu"
|
|
|
+and "reportbase at gmail dot com" respectively.</p>
|
|

|
|
|
+If you would like us to make any modifications or additions to this
|
|
|
+report before we do that, please email Ron or Tom.</p>
|
|
|
+<p>If you're library author and plan on submitting a library for review
|
|
|
+in the next 3-6 months, send Ron or Tom a
|
|
|
+short description of your library and we'll add it to the
|
|
|
+Libraries Under Construction below. We know that there are many
|
|
|
+libaries that are near completion, but we have hard time keeping
|
|
|
