hi Erica - re. your email below - that would be great if you could put some info about the IDM Manual in your newsletter! About a site where people could download the IDM computer program (designed to help people go through the IDM Framework process - still in preliminary stages with more work needed but so far response has been positive) - I wonder if anyone knows of a website with the capability of posting a computer program for people to download that might be willing to post this one? (that wouldn't cost us anything as funding ended March 31!)
best wishes,
Barbara

Barbara,
I can place a short article/promo in our next newsletter but am wondering if
there will be or is a site where people could download the software to use?
Thank you.
Erica MacIntyre
