[kyra]

thanks for this robin
the bristol techs thought it was poss too and i'm sure they can help (i can
already hear them thanking me for volunteering them as i type!) in any
techie way they can to set this up

glad to have it confirmed that 'having it both ways' as ana puts it (i.e.
hanging on to our current model for now, but being integrated into the
national network), should not prove a particular problem.

altho having said that we are considering the pros and cons of a move to
different software - either mir, or dada which we are working with to
support alMuajaha is also good.

best
kyra
