This is great! The more community education and input, the better! Hopefully we'll be seeing the "CRC 2.0" realized soon!

Thank you, Jennifer. At this time I still haven't received final word on the exact placement from the contest organizers, so I'm not fully celebrating yet. Fingers still crossed...
