Hi Azara,
We're thinking of overhauling the University, and we're contact all the Researchers who have a project listed.
What stage is your project at?

Hi, Mina!
My project is at the same stage it was this time last year - a collection of entries some of which are almost ready, and some of which are all planned out in my head.
I'd actually like to take the project off the list, and put the entries through Peer Review instead - the thought of having to get the *whole* thing ready at once was one thing that began to put me off. I'd also be happier with knowing that reviewers have all had a chance to have their say - I don't know if I'll get much response in Peer Review but I've actually got a bit uneasy about the fact that there's very little cross-checking on University entries (I know that Ashley or Sam or someone will have a look but they have plenty of other calls on their time!)
My original reasons for thinking of this as a project were that I wanted to be able to cross-link, and I thought I wouldn't be able to depend on getting a whole bunch of entries through Peer Review. Having seen how Hell got a couple of very worthwhile collections of linked entries through Peer Review, I don't see either point as much of a problem now. There are always those occasional fallow periods in PR where there's a chance for the scouts to pick up slack. And I think it would suit my dilettante style of working rather better than trying to get everything ready at once.
So, if you can remove my project from the list, I might actually finish the entries faster!

Some good points there - which is another reason for contacting all the Researchers in the uni. Feedback is something that we're going to be looking at, but I'll take you off the list now. Good luck with them in PR, and thanks for getting back to me.
