hi all, Hi Miguel,

I understand your concern in waiting for feedback. However I do not 
agree with the assumption ' nobody is against , so it is approved'.
it is not the process decided in the IVOA.
But your mail is good to make people react.
I apologize that I have been unable to work on VO related efforts in 
the last 5 months due to heavy teaching commitments.
Let us some time to reconsider your documents , discuss how your 
services can help to come up to a set of 'good practices' and 'lessons 
learnt' in the organisation of services to access theoretical data in 
astronomy.
Any feedback from other people involved in simulation codes developments?

Cheers, Mireille, DM group
